The hospice hosts and enables seminars to give healthcare professionals the confidence and knowledge to deal with palliative care issues in their job. 

Topics for future seminars include:

Please contact Amanda Henderson in the clinical team by email or by calling 01977 781471 if there is a palliative care issue you would like to suggest for future training.

We also invest in educating and training tomorrow’s healthcare professionals in palliative care. We host intensive one-day introductions to palliative care for pre-registration medical students from the Leeds School of Medicine six times a year. Feedback from this well- evaluated programme shows we are helping to demystify hospice care.

All our staff are trained in-house and externally in a way that links clearly to the competencies required for their role.

Where possible our training is co-ordinated with other palliative care providers, such as Macmillan Cancer Care and our neighbouring hospices, to share knowledge and ensure resources are effectively used.
