You may remember us telling you recently that we’ve been taking part in a 12 month project to improve Prison staff’s palliative, end of life and bereavement knowledge by running educational sessions and training to three local prisons; Leyhill, Ashfield and Horfield. The project was funded by the Linder Foundation through Hospice UK. Team members from our L&D, Psychological Therapy and Multi-Faith teams ran four cohorts of sessions across two days. They covered subjects including end of life care, the last days of life, and what a good death looks like in prison. The people who came really valued the sessions, one participant said, “I now know how to manage end of life care and give the best support to the dying person”.
