Hospice Education Partnership
Farleigh Hospice is proud to be part of a collaborative Hospice Education Partnership alongside St Elizabeth Hospice and St Helena Hospice.
Together, we are working to improve access to high-quality education and training in palliative and end of life care.
Rachel Maddock – Head of Clinical Quality and Performance; Ellie Miller – Director of Care; Mandy Summons – Head of Hospice Education; and Kate Tighe – Head of Nursing, Inpatient Care and Education.
Expanding access to learning
Through this partnership, we offer a broad and growing programme of education, training, and development opportunities. These include both online and face-to-face sessions, designed to support:
- Hospice staff and volunteers
- Healthcare professionals across mid and north east Essex
- Colleagues working across Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney
Our shared aim is to ensure that more people have access to consistent, best practice learning that supports high-quality, compassionate care.
Working together to improve care
By combining expertise across our three hospices, we are able to:
- Share knowledge and specialist skills
- Deliver practical, inclusive and responsive learning
- Strengthen collaboration across organisations and services
- Support a consistent approach to palliative and end of life care
This partnership reflects our commitment to improving care for people living with life-limiting illness and those important to them.
What training is available?
We offer a range of flexible learning opportunities to support different roles, experience levels and learning preferences. These include:
- Short courses and workshops
- Study days and specialist sessions
- Accredited and non-accredited programmes
- Online and face-to-face learning
All training is designed and delivered by experienced hospice professionals, with a focus on practical, relevant learning that can be applied in real care settings.
A shared commitment
As part of this collaboration, we have signed a joint memorandum of understanding, formalising our commitment to work together to shape and deliver hospice education.
“We are excited to be working alongside St Helena and St Elizabeth Hospices in this innovative partnership. Together we will shape education that is relevant, practical and supportive of palliative and end of life care for the benefit of our local communities.”Kate Tighe – Head of Nursing, Inpatient Care and Education at Farleigh Hospice
