End of Life Care Training

Caring for individuals as they approach the end of their life is a privilege. Being in someone’s final moments, ensuring that they are comfortable and cared for with compassion is a unique responsibility. We know how important it is to feel equipped to care well in these sensitive situations. At Christians in Care, we can offer refresher training on end of life care to support you in your role.

Lucy Honeysett, Lead Coordinator of Christians in Care, has over 16 years experience of working as a hospice nurse, and is passionate about good end of life care and uplifting and encouraging carers across the profession. She will be running interactive online training on end of life care with a certificate that will be available on completion.

Feedback from our training days

Thank you again for a fabulous informative day.

I’ve learnt so much and hope I can, going forward, improve how I communicate with patients and relatives. To be involved in an interactive zoom call with break out rooms was fabulous.

You did such a fantastic job making us all feel very welcome on the zoom session.

Great session, really thoughtful and appreciated.

The session was presented in a caring and sensitive way and reflected the presenter’s knowledge and experience in this field while integrating Christian beliefs and values appropriately.

I feel the course was very interesting and informative, I will definitely be recommending it to others.

Assisted Suicide

We are deeply concerned about the possibility of assisted suicide being legalised in the UK. Our Duty of Care joined Christians in Care for an online event about assisted suicide. It was an incredibly moving and informative time. If you missed it, you can now catch up below.

How can churches respond to assisted suicide?

We had another opportunity to talk about the implications of introducing assisted suicide at an online event hosted by CARE in partnership with Affinity. Lucy Honeysett joined Professor John Wyatt and James Mildred from CARE to think through how churches can respond to the Assisted Suicide Bill.
