Whole event very useful, enjoyed presentation and discussion on topics. I have gained confidence and knowledge of what I can do with patients

AHP Bite Size Learning – Bone Metastases – Feb 2023


This felt the most informative palliative care session I have ever been involved with.

Just wanted to send you a big thank you and let you know how brilliant the EOL course for paramedics was yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and had lots of take away points which will be very useful when putting into practice.

Tapping into the expertise of the hospice medics and looking at the predicted symptoms and signs as patients approach their final hours.

Our Clinical Education Programme

Education 2022-23
As a centre of excellence in palliative care, The Hospice of St Francis is committed to empowering health and social care professionals through collaboration, expertise, passion, education and learning.

We are proud of our ability to provide high quality education and learning experiences that are responsive to the frequently changing needs of the health and social care workforce and its patients.


We primarily use virtual platforms to deliver our education programme. This is a more inclusive way of delivering education and enables us to share our knowledge and experience with a much wider audience. Our interactive and highly original sessions are developed and delivered by a multi-disciplinary team with many years of experience in providing palliative and end of life care and palliative rehabilitation.

In addition we offer student placements and a range of skills and personal development training opportunities for clinicians, non-clinicians and volunteers.
