Introduction
This unit will enable you to be better prepared to care for people in the last year of their lives. You will develop skills in recognising; responding, renegotiating and reinforcing appropriate care and assessing the 'domains of distress' experienced by the person. You will also extend your knowledge and skills in communication collaboration, and decision making that is centred around the person, their family and care givers. The unit will enhance your ability to provide consultative and compassionate care and implement shared decision making.
