Course details
Allied Health Professionals working throughout the healthcare setting encounter significant numbers of patients with palliative care needs on a daily basis. Allied Health Professionals often report receiving inadequate palliative care education to support these needs (Sadhu 2010).
The aim of this study day is to provide participants with an introductory knowledge of palliative care and is facilitated by AHP’s working full time in specialist palliative care with significant clinical experience and expertise in this field, using a variety of teaching methods including video presentation, group work, case scenarios and discussion. This study day is available to Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Dietitians and Speech and Language Therapists.
The day commences with an introduction to the concept and ethos of palliative care followed by sessions on Allied Health Profession roles, goal setting, communication, caring for ourselves, end of life care and ethical issues in palliative care. The afternoon sessions are discipline specific. Participants will identify the palliative care core competencies required for health professionals when providing a palliative approach as set out by the Palliative Care Competence Framework HSE 2014.
