LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Invest in yourself!
At Mercy Hospice, our Learning and Development team is committed to building knowledge, skills, and capability in palliative care for both clinical and non-clinical professionals. We take a collaborative approach, supporting a shared care model across all settings.
We offer a variety of blended learning plans, including experiential face-to-face workshops and interactive e-learnings. These learning opportunities are designed to build confidence, enhance practice, and support compassionate, high-quality palliative care.

-
Mauri Mate (Palliative Care for Māori),

Symptom Management,

Care of the Dying,
-
