Hybrid Learning

Level 2 Certificate in the Principles of End of Life Care

By 2040, the number of people aged over 64 in Britain is expected to grow from 9.5 million to 15 million. Due to the UKs aging population, an increasing number of people will live with serious chronic illness and ultimately need end of life care.

The problems faced and support needed by people nearing the end of life is wide-ranging and this course will provide you with a good understanding of the role of a care worker throughout the end of life care process including pain management and quality of life.

This course is ideal for those who are looking to pursue a career in adult health care or individuals who are already employed in this sector and hoping to progress in their current careers.
