Session Outline

The national framework for palliative and end of life care (PEOLC) for all health and social care professionals working in Scotland was published by NHS Education Scotland (NES) in 2018. The framework outlines 4 skills levels: informed, skilled, enhanced and expert. The informed level outlines the knowledge and skills in PEOLC required by all health and social service workers regardless of their context of practice. Thus, all new BSc in nursing graduates should have an informed level of knowledge and skills in PEOLC.  Yet research reveals that current students, newly graduated students and practising nurses report a lack of knowledge and skills in PEOLC (Bassah et al. 2014) leaving them unprepared to care for the dying and bereaved.

This webinar will report on the findings of LTA-funded research project involving:

  • A survey of student nurses’ perceptions of their knowledge and skills in palliative and end of life care.
  • Developing a co-designed curriculum using participatory research workshops
