The End of Life Care – Level 3 (QCF) Course is designed for students who want to increase their knowledge of end of life care and develop their comprehension of the factors and issues that relate to providing end of life care for patients.
This course has been created so it is accessible for study by non-specialists in this field, or it can also be used to complement practical work within a relevant work-place environment. The course will help students to reinforce their practice with theoretical knowledge and may also give students the opportunity to look at aspects of health and social care that they have not been involved with previously.
On successful completion of the course, students will receive a recognised level 3 Qualification with 16 credits issued by NCFE.
The course includes the following units:
Unit 1 – Understanding End of Life Care (3 Credits)
