In this module you will consolidate your learning, drawing on previous knowledge and skills to develop confidence and competence in management in holistic support of a patient and their carer at the end of life.

Within all health care environments, health care professionals are involved in caring for the dying patient. Managing symptoms, supporting the client and care, and using your own and others’ expertise to the benefit of the client, are all important aspects. With the development of end of life care initiatives, the need to provide the right level of care at the right time and in the right place has been emphasised as a paramount importance to all concerned.
