End of Life Care Training

Tender description

Health Education England, working across the East Midlands, is responsible for providing two-year generic training programmes to 1000 foundation trainees across the East Midlands region based in the LNR and Trent Foundation Schools. Currently the two Foundation Schools deliver a programme of generic skills courses to all F1 doctors. As part of this programme we wish to procure an End of Life Care training day to meet the F1 outcomes of the Foundation Curriculum 2012, to enable F1s to: •Understand the principles of providing high quality end of life care including the use of DNACPR orders as outlined in Treatment and care towards the end of life: good practice in decision making (GMC, 2010) •Take part in discussions regarding end of life care and DNACPR orders •Use the local protocol for deciding when not to resuscitate patients Health Education England, working across the East Midlands, intends to procure 500 places on an End of Life Care course from providers within the local education and health communities. Principles The course will need to: •Incorporate theoretical and practical elements i.e. brief presentations, group discussions and work skills rehearsals •Deliver relevant Foundation Curriculum competencies •Be delivered by a multi-professional faculty •Be evaluated by the learners and a certificate of achievement awarded on successful completion of the course •Be provided by an established provider in the delivery of similar courses •Provide access to course manual and/or e-learning resources •Where possible, incorporate an inter-professional theme
