These online multidisciplinary modules are designed for healthcare professionals wishing to advance their knowledge of the management of patients with non-curable and terminal illness.

Standalone modules are an excellent way to enhance your knowledge and contribute to your continuing professional development portfolio. Successful completion of each module will provide you with institutional credit, but the standalone modules listed here are not designed to build towards a specific award (e.g. PgCert/PgDip/MSc). If you are interested in study leading to a named award, please view our MSc Palliative Medicine for Health Care Professionals.

All modules address the palliative care needs of patients regardless of diagnosis, recognising the global need for palliative acre knowledge and skills

We reserve the right to cancel the delivery of a standalone module. This could happen if a course is under-subscribed or if there is a change in circumstances. This is due to the fact that some modules have minimum student numbers required before they can run. This is to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered. When this happens we will issue a full or partial refund depending on whether any classes took place.
