The Master of Palliative Care aims to provide an opportunity for individuals from any professional background who are working in palliative care or a related area to deepen and extend their knowledge base in palliative and supportive care within a global context. The course is designed to enable practitioners to select a series of topics built on core material that will assist them to address particular needs within their discipline and clinical setting. In addition, the course aims to develop independent critical thinkers who will be able to contribute to the appraisal, assessment and problem-solving required of a multidisciplinary/multi-professional team. The course aims to provide students with opportunities to begin to develop as researchers who are able to communicate research evidence to professional communities. |
