As part of the South West Regional Education Bid we are pleased to be able to offer staff working in paediatric palliative care the opportunity to participate in a two-day psychological skills training programme. This is being offered in response to a need identified to offer staff more support in delivering psychologically informed care in this highly demanding clinical area. As you are hopefully aware we are also carrying out a training needs analysis and we will adapt the course to incorporate the findings from this as well over the coming months.
Training topics will include:
– Identifying and screening for psychological needs
– Psychological risk assessment
– Psychological communication skills
– Supporting discussions around death and dying
– Self-care for staff
Please see the attached flyer for dates and to sign up, we currently have 5 spaces left (booking form is accessed by following the QR code link). Further details will be emailed to attendees closer to the time.
