Carers strive to keep the patient comfortable and as pain free as possible, while also providing important emotional, psychological and social support. They must develop a unique set of skills to provide this support to both the patient and their families.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of end of life care. The course begins by giving a general overview of end of life care, along with outlining the roles and responsibilities of carers.
