Rowcroft Hospice: Advanced Level Communication Skills in Palliative & End of Life Care (classroom learning event 2 full days - £750)

Classroom learning event, designed for experienced senior clinicians (Band 6* or above or equivalent) wishing to explore communication challenges when supporting people with life limiting illness and approaching death.

Taught at an advanced level, this is aimed for clinicians with experience of working with people/families approaching end of life. Ideally you will have some prior learning in communication skills. 

It is not suitable for those with management and organisational communication challenges, and it is different to training offered to de-escalate situations. e.g. Breakaway.
