Training in your organisation
Training together as a team on site, either for whole or part of a day or even in a lunch hour, after work or on a weekend, can be a rich experience. For some it is also the only practical or logistical solution.
If you are considering outreach training, you do not need any special facilities. We can bring all the equipment we need. You simply have to have enough room for everyone to sit down and ideally a blank wall (to project images).
We are very happy to develop tailor made packages to suit the needs of your team on any aspect relevant to palliative care. Fees for tailor made events are negotiated at the time of booking.
For more information please contact Ken Perry, Administration and Training Assistant, PA to Head of Education.
