Palliative care: Next steps in learning...

Last updated: Monday, September 02, 2024


CPPE has links to useful learning resources via its Palliative Care gateway page including an introduction to palliative care and a quiz. The resource Dealing with difficult discussions is an e-learning programme designed to help you approach difficult discussions with patients and others.


The e-Lfh site has multiple helpful resources to support you. You may like to start with Palliative care in the Acute Medicine knowledge section which is relevant to pharmacists. You need to register but access is free.

Try the e-learning module on Palliative care on the SCRIPT safety site supported by HEE. You will need to log-in but access is free with an NHS e-mail address.

In addition, you might like to look at these resources:

  • NICE has published a Clinical Guideline on Strong Opioids for Adults in palliative care.
  • Explore the valuable range of information provided for the public in Scotland about palliative care by NHS Inform.
