We work with hospitals, nursing homes and bereavement groups to support and embed education and training in end-of-life and bereavement care. We ensure our training is based on evidence, provides opportunity for reflection, is relevant to practice and is appropriately accredited.  

From our MsC in Loss & Bereavement, Grief in the Workplace, to our end-of-life care and bereavement workshops, there is a wide spectrum of training to choose from. As workplace and education environments continue evolve, we’re also strengthening our capacity to deliver both online and in-person (when possible) education and training.
