Overview
What you will study
The ‘Cardiff 6 point toolkit’, a collection of effective communication skills’ tools is central to the teaching and provides opportunity for recognisable scholarship and academic output from the courses. Using the Cardiff 6 point toolkit as a basis for teaching enables us to demonstrate the tools in all the different types of consultation that may occur in palliative and end of life care. This Communication tools for palliative care and end of life course offered by Cardiff University will cover that.
