Principles of Palliative Care in Practice - Module NS6081

Caring for people with life-limiting illnesses requires a sensitive, skilled and person-centred approach. This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential is designed for registered nurses or midwives who want to develop their knowledge and confidence in delivering high-quality palliative care.  

You’ll explore the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of people receiving palliative care. You’ll learn how to provide holistic support, promote comfort and dignity, and respond to patients and families at all stages of illness and bereavement.  

This micro-credential will help you strengthen your clinical and communication skills so you can provide thoughtful, effective care across a range of settings.  

This module is associated with Nursing (Palliative Care) - MSc. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
