Palliative Care is everyone’s business. As a health professional, it’s likely that you will be called upon to engage with patients facing a life-limiting illness at some stage during your career.
Our postgraduate courses are all about equipping you – and the workforce – with the capacity to deliver leadership in palliative care that supports patients and families through the physical, emotional & psychosocial aspects of the end-of-life experience.
