About this module
In this module the student will consolidate their learning, drawing on previous knowledge and skills to develop confidence and competence in management of a patient and their carers at the end of life.
Within all health care environments, practitioners are at the forefront in caring for the dying patient. Practitioners are required to work closely with family members in order to support them through the process of the illness and subsequent bereavement. Managing symptoms, supporting client and carers and utilising one's own and others' expertise to the benefit of the client are all important aspects of the role of the palliative care practitioner.
With the development of National End of Life Care Programme, the need to provide the right level of care at the right time and in the right place has been emphasised as of paramount importance to all concerned, for cancer and non-cancer patients.
