Course Description

This accredited comprehensive BYTSYZ online course is designed for care workers who work with and support on a daily basis individuals who are nearing the end of life. The key focus of the course is to raise awareness and educate the carer in order to drive up the quality and standard of care for those facing the end of their life.

The course consists of four modules:
