Core Concepts Level 1
This 30-hour program offers a basic introductory course on hospice palliative care for almost anyone. It meets the standards laid out by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario ( HPCO ) in the Visiting Hospice Training Manual, and is a useful starting point for many persons, such as these groups:
- It is a requirement for all hospice volunteers, prior to participating in visiting hospice programs;
- Complements the training provided to personal support workers and prepares them specifically to deliver
services in hospice palliative care at home or in other locations;
- Relevant for the general public who are providing care for chronically ill or aging persons, such as
family and friends, community of faith or cultural, other community support providers;
- Anyone interested in preparing for their own eventual death & understanding the dying process better.
