Practical Vs Theory
Course overview
This qualification is designed for a wide range of learners who wish to gain an understanding of end of life care and can support progression into employment within the health and social care sector.
By 2040, the number of people aged over 64 in Britain is expected to grow from 9.5 million to 15 million. The population is aging, meaning more people will live with serious chronic illness and need end of life care.
The problems faced and support needed by people nearing the end of life is wide-ranging and a good understanding of pain management, support and quality of life is essential for all carers.
