The Disability Resource Centre’s Care Academy is pleased to announce a free workshop on end-of-life care for Personal Assistants (PAs).

This training is provided by Keech Hospice.

Keech Hospice is a local charity that provides specialist care for adults and children with life-limiting illnesses. They have extensive experience of over 30 years in end-of-life care.

This important training will provide PAs with the skills and knowledge needed to support individuals and their families during end-of-life care. The workshop will cover topics such as:

1. Care Services - All the care available from Keech is tailored to meet your individual needs, which means you might receive support at home, visit Keech Hospice for an appointment, join a video call, or stay at the hospice if needed.

3. The history of Keech Hospice which opened in 1986.

4. Tour of the hospice.

5. What is palliative and end of life care. Palliative care is all about improving your quality of life, and relieving your symptoms whether these are physical, emotional, psychological, social, economic or spiritual. Palliative care is about empowering you to live better, for longer, with your life-limiting or terminal illness.

6. Looking after yourself - Keech Hospice offer patients and their families a range of services to support physically, emotionally and psychologically.

7. Compassionate Communities - This opens up conversations about death, dying, bereavement and loss. A compassionate community is one in which everyone recognises that we all have a role in supporting each other, particularly during periods of crisis and loss. It’s about making a difference by enabling people within the community to make a personal connection with another person in whatever way shows compassion, kindness, and care.

This training partnership with Keech Hospice and The Disability Resource Centre ensures attendees receives the highest quality training.
