THE DR RICHARD MILLER EDUCATION CENTRE

The Education Team

We are committed to ensuring quality end-of-life care and support the health and social care workforce through our passionate Education Team.

Sharing Knowledge, Expertise & Experience

At St Michael’s Hospice, we’ve always valued sharing knowledge with professionals and learning from them.

Since 1990, our education services for nurses, doctors, and various professionals have expanded. We offer these services within the Hospice and in external healthcare settings.

We prioritise supporting carers and have established multiple support groups. Sharing our knowledge benefits both professional and non-professional carers, enhancing community care now and in the future.

Bespoke Training

We can develop tailor-made packages to suit the needs of your team on any aspect relevant to palliative care.

Room Hire

Our Education Centre provides flexible spaces for hire, ideal for meetings and training. Each room offers breath-taking views of our gardens and the surrounding countryside, creating a welcoming and inspiring setting for your event.

Placement Opportunities

St Michael’s Hospice provides diverse opportunities for placements, catering to both healthcare professionals and students seeking work experience during their school, college and university years.

Project ECHO®

Join Herefordshire & Worcestershire’s Palliative & End-of-Life ECHO Hub and connect with a growing network of health and social care professionals, including those delivering palliative care beyond hospice settings, who are learning, sharing and supporting each other every day. 

Free to attend and delivered via Zoom, these 60-90 minute sessions combine expert-led teaching with open, real-world discussion, so you can gain practical insights, share experiences and learn directly from peers facing the same challenges as you.
