St Barnabas House Education Programme 2019 - 2020 - Sharing knowledge and learning together
Hi everyone,
    ‘Sharing knowledge and learning together’
    I’m delighted to introduce our latest Education Programme 2019-20, which is packed
    with something for everyone.
    The programme has been influenced by the people we care for and it is vital that our
    palliative care education reflects what clinicians, in all settings, need to enhance the
    care they deliver.
    Our disease specific study days, caring for people with cancer, heart, renal and liver
    failure and dementia have continued to be successful, bringing together professionals
    working in the acute, community and palliative care sectors. We are keen to reach
    out and support everyone, and in facilitating the study day entitled ‘A different
    ending: addressing inequalities in end of life care’ we will focus on how to meet the
    needs of individual people from all communities. An important part of our Education
    Programme has been inviting people to the classroom to share their stories about
    living with their illness and the support their families and friends have needed. This
    year we are facilitating a fascinating study day led by people in our care and their
    families and friends entitled ‘An ice cream at midnight’, please see page 20. We are
    also running a new two day accredited course ‘Awareness of End of Life Care (Level 2)’
    and ‘End of Life Care (Level 3)’ for Health and Social Care Support Workers, please
    see page 7.
    We are working closely with our colleagues in the Education Team at St Wilfrid’s
    Hospice (Chichester) as well as other hospices in the South East, local NHS Trusts,
    NHS Health Education England working across Kent, Surrey and Sussex (HEEKSS)
    and NHS Coastal West Sussex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
    We have been fortunate in securing some funding from HEEKSS and the CCG to
    allow you to access some of our events free of charge.
    Our training is delivered in different formats from short lunchtime sessions through
    to full ten day modules (First degree and Master’s degree).
    We appreciate you are very busy, however, we all need to stop and think about
    looking after ourselves as well as keeping up to date with our knowledge ready for
    revalidation.
    Thank you for all the great work you are doing and we look forward to seeing you
    soon to...
    ‘Share knowledge and learn together’
    Kind regards,
    Liz Watson (Head of Clinical Education)
    PS. Yes the flapjacks are still good.

Swap Shop
     Swap Shop is open to doctors, nurses, social workers and all health and social care
     professionals from all clinical settings. The aim of Swap Shop is to focus on a specific
     palliative care topic. It runs as a 40 minute presentation along with a light lunch and
     participants are given a presentation handout with supportive references for further
     reading. There will be an opportunity for discussion and it is hoped that participants
     will informally ‘swap’ and exchange ideas to enhance their clinical practice. A sandwich
     lunch is provided FREE of charge and you do not have to book or reserve a place, just
     come along, it couldn’t be easier. We look forward to meeting you!
