Following the publication of Trees that bend in the wind: Exploring the experiences of front line support workers delivering palliative and end of life carein February this year, Scottish Care has been actively progressing the twelve recommendations made in the report.

‘Supporting Solace’ is a practical workshop designed to explore the realities of delivering palliative and end of life care in care homes and care at home organisations in more detail, and to also learn about new national and local developments in this area.  We will also be launching our latest Scottish Care PEOLC resources.
