Palliative Care Course for Social Workers (Advanced)
OVERVIEW
LCPC proposes an advanced structured course to train social workers from community and hospital settings to deliver appropriate and effective end-of-life psychosocial care. A workgroup comprising of 8 practicing social workers and psychologists from various healthcare institutions across Singapore will be appointed to develop the content and advise on the curriculum.
This blended learning modular course will build upon an existing basic course designed specifically for social workers and cover in increased breadth and depth a range of topics relevant to social workers managing patients with life-limiting progressive illnesses. A supervision component will be incorporated into the course to facilitate learning in an authentic environment.
