| Learning objectives 1 | The Programme aims to train practicing doctors, especially family physicians, to be competent and confident in managing patients who require palliative care in the clinic and in the home setting. |
| Description | This is a ten-month part-time Programme designed for a busy physician interested to deepen his/her knowledge and clinical skills in palliative medicine. The Programme is also relevant to family physicians working in hospices, nursing homes, community hospitals, and home medical services, and to non-specialist doctors and specialists in other disciplines who may be interested in palliative care. The curriculum covers the breadth of palliative care, including principles of palliative care, symptom management, the psychosocial dimension, communications, ethical and legal issues as well as practical procedures. There will be Programme-reading materials for self-study, seminars with group discussion on case vignettes, group learning via group tutorials, and 6 full-day attachments in various palliative care settings – hospital-based palliative medicine unit, inpatient hospice services and home hospices. |
