What we offer

Mission statement

Jo Shawcross and Karilyn Collins demonstrating Role Play

We are a group of experienced palliative care practitioners, managers and educators aiming to support and develop palliative care services in resource-limited settings, in collaboration with existing initiatives and organisations. We offer training, mentoring and consultancy.

TRAINING – Based on the Palliative Care Toolkit and Trainer's manual, our interactive courses include an introduction to palliative care, pain management, higher level palliative care education and Training of Trainers. We also have available on the PCW website, a set of 5 training videos which come with the scripts and teaching notes for facilitators.

MENTORING – After training, we offer on-site support to individuals and teams followed by periods of extended mentorship to suit local needs. This includes advice on advocacy, campaigning, funding advice, organisation development, leadership and team building.

CONSULTANCY – We are available for feasibility studies and needs assessments related to palliative care. Research to support the establishment of palliative care services and outcome surveys are undertaken to review the impact of training.
