Overview

Working with people toward the end of their lives? Training in End of Life Care? You don't have to go it alone!

Caring for people at the end of life is one of the most challenging and rewarding roles in Health and Social Care. But with a range of awards, certificates and units available to work-based learners it can be a confusing area for qualifications. That's why we've put together a one-stop handbook to support your training and continuing professional development in end of life care.

Here in one place is all the topic knowledge, assessment support and practical advice you will need for a range of end of life care qualifications. Core topics are linked to the specific learning and assessment objectives you need to cover for 11 QCF units and national competencies. Case studies tie learning into the many different situations and roles across Home Care, Residential Care, NHS and Private Settings.

This book is especially useful for candidates taking the:

Level 2 Award in End of Life Care

Level 2 Certificate in End of Life Care

Level 3 Award in End of Life Care

Level 3 Certificate in End of Life Care

It's also a must have reference for those who want to brush up skills and knowledge from previous qualifications.

So whatever your level of specialism, give yourself the tools you need for your role and your clients in end of life care.
