Keech Hospice Care Learning: Tier 3 Courses

Tier Three Advanced Courses

We recommend Tier 2 modules are completed ahead of starting our advanced training. This section is aimed specifically at health or social care professionals whose focus is in palliative and end-of-life care.

Virtual sessions

Some of our courses are virtual, so it’s important that you use an appropriate device with a working camera and microphone (tablet, laptop or PC, not a mobile phone) to ensure you get as much from the session as possible. Consider using a space with good lighting and ensure your camera is switched on.

Leading through challenge and complexity

Guest speaker: Baroness Hilary Cass

We are privileged and delighted to welcome Baroness Hilary Cass as our speaker for our January Masterclass. The last year has particularly highlighted so many instances of institutional scandals and shown time and again, our organisational instincts to protect an institutions reputation, at the expense of those who have been wronged. This Masterclass addresses the issues that leaders need to consider if we are to avoid making similar mistakes. It aims to help us lead our own areas of influence with transparency, putting the people we serve genuinely at the centre of all we do
