Current Learning in Palliative Care (CLiP)
Our free CLiP programme gives professionals, carers and teams from a variety of health and social care settings the knowledge and skills needed in their daily work. You can work through a CLiP worksheet in the time it takes to have a coffee break; around 15 minutes.
The tutorials and worksheets can be used by individuals or by small groups to help with developing shared dialogue and learning.
The content has been designed, and is regularly updated by, doctors, nurses and other professionals involved in clinical palliative care practice.
Mental Capacity Act
The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) came into force on 1 October 2007. It will have a significant impact both on patients with impaired mental capacity and those caring for them. This includes all health and social care professionals engaged in palliative care, whether they work in a specialist unit or hospice, an acute hospital or a care home, or in primary care.
This Mental Capacity Act module should help you to understand the Act. It consists of an introduction, presentations, case studies and useful links.
