Overview
In the UK, hospices support more than 225,000 people – and their families – with terminal or life-limiting conditions. Over 72,000 people received bereavement support.
Studying the Level 3 Certificate in the Principles of End of Life Care gives you the skills and approaches needed to provide individuals much needed end of life care.
The course will give you an understanding of how to support a person’s familial, spiritual, social and emotional needs during a terminal or life-limiting illness.
You will be encouraged to explore common themes and questions during end of life, and how to confront the issues of death and bereavement.

This course will also aid anyone in the healthcare sector who already has qualifications in healthcare, nursing or similar, but needs a deeper understanding of palliative care.
