End of Life & Palliative Care resources

End of Life & Palliative Care resources

Katharine Ross, Scottish Care’s Workforce Lead, was recently invited to speak at a Scotland Policy Conferences Keynote Seminar at the beginning of June.

The title of the event was  ‘Next steps for palliative and end of life care: access, delivery and integration.  

Katharine’s presentation is available here.  We hope this emphasises the importance of involvement and integrated co-production that Scottish Care place in the development of end of life and palliative care.

Scottish Care has recently been invited to participate in the development of end of life and palliative care learning and educational material.  Although this project is in the initial stages of development, we will soon be inviting Scottish Care members to engage in discussions with NES and SSSC.  More information will be coming out soon.

If this is an area you or your organisation would like to get involved in please contact Katharine directly – [email protected]
