Course details
This intensive distance/blended programme developed for Irish doctors, pharmacists and nurses, is based on the well established Princess Alice Certificate in Essential Palliative Care running in the UK for many years. Milford Care Centre is the coordinating site for the Southern Ireland Region with a host centre based in Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services Dublin. The course is pided into eight sections, each covering different principles and practice for delivering end of-life care in any setting, some of which include::
- Caring for Patients with Pain
- Palliative Care & the Gastrointestinal System
- Breaking Bad News & Ethical Issues
- Emergencies in Palliative Care and Palliative Care in Life Limiting Disease
- The Last 48 Hours of Life: Practical Issues & Bereavement
It is estimated that these main sections will require at least 10 hours of work to complete, including watching the DVD programme, reading the course handbook, and reviewing the questions at the end of each section. Learning is assessed through completion of a portfolio, written and oral examination. An online learning site has also been established to assist candidates with their studies.
In order to undertake the course, applicants must be qualified doctors, pharmacists or nurses and be working in a suitable practice setting e.g. in an acute hospital, nursing home, community or hospice and should have direct contact with patients requiring a palliative approach to care.
This course is approved with Certified Education Units (CEU'S) from An Bord Altranais and the Royal College of Physicians Ireland CPD credits.
