The focus will be on addressing complex symptoms such as breathlessness, consent issues, involvement of carers, consideration of spiritual issues, challenging conversations and end-of-life care.

The course will include a blend of theory and practical hands-on techniques and approaches. Students will also be required to complete directed tasks and provide reflective feedback on the activities (this will take approximately 4.5 hours).

Prerequisite: suitable for complementary therapists and health care professionals working with end-of-life patients.
