At City Hospice, we are passionate about palliative care and committed to ensuring that all healthcare professionals working in the community have access to the training and resources they need to provide high-quality, holistic care—wherever patients may be cared for.

We regularly support medical, nursing, occupational therapy, counselling, and complementary therapy students as part of their training. We have worked closely with Cardiff University and Marie Curie to deliver webinars on a range of palliative care topics and collaborated with charities such as Prostate Cancer UK and Pancreatic Cancer UK to deliver teaching to healthcare professionals across the UK.

As part of our educational outreach, we deliver training sessions in care homes, including a 3-hour seminar on End-of-Life Care in the community. This includes topics such as Advance Care Planning and symptom management at the end of life.
