Education
Education has always
been a high priority for Hospice Isle of Man – not least because
of the many different professions working together and because
palliative care is provided in a variety of settings.
A life-limiting
illness affects the body, the mind, the spirit, the social
wellbeing, the family, and the care team. We strive to
improve the skills, knowledge and attitudes of staff in all of
these areas. Through education we are able to reach out to
people who may never visit the hospice and help to improve their
lives.
The Hospice’s
commitment to education has been ongoing since its inception
back in 1983. In order to meet key recommendations
published in the NHS Cancer Plan (2000) and NICE Guidance –
Improving Supportive and Palliative Care Services for Adults
with Cancer (2004) this commitment is now even greater.
We offer palliative care education and training to those groups
of staff and professionals who require to practice the
palliative care approach for all patients who need it.
