Session 2 – 18 April at 11am-noon: Supporting colleagues with bereavement.
Faith Holloway, Compassionate Employers Programme Lead​​​​, Hospice UK, joins us online to create a safe space to talk about grief and how it affects our colleagues.
Register here.

There is an opportunity to help shape the content of the conversation to cover issues of concern such as how comfortable do you feel discussing grief and bereavement with your colleagues?

On both sessions you will hear about the new Spiritual Care at the End of Life eLearning course (six interactive sessions x 30 minutes). The course provides an opportunity to explore two generic topics – why spiritual care at the end of life is important, and talking about death and dying – and four more specific aspects of this theme.

Running as a thread throughout the course is the importance of self-care, and signposting to those who can provide support. For participants who want to read further, references are included.
