Education & Training

The Hospice aims to provide a comprehensive palliative care education programme for staff working in a wide variety of healthcare settings.  

Our programme of events supports the recommendations in the End of Life Care Strategy (Department of Health, 2008) in order to help improve palliative care in hospitals, hospices, care homes and the community.  Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice has an Education Team with many years of experience working in healthcare and specifically in delivering specialist palliative care.  Teaching is also provided by members of the multi-professional team actively working with patients at the Hospice who bring a wealth of experience to the courses and can use real life scenarios to enhance learners’ understanding of subjects.
