Nursing and Residential Care Homes
We are pleased to support nursing and residential care homes, both locally and further afield, with a variety of training and education courses in palliative and end-of-life care.
We offer learning in a range of topics such as dementia at the end of life and communication skills, as well as simulated clinical skills training including the use of syringe drivers, catheterisation and verification of death.
If your care home has specific requirements, we are happy to meet and discuss training options and programmes to suit your needs and budget. We have helped many care homes from large nursing home groups to small independent residential units develop their skills and empower their staff to provide exceptional care.
