Palliative Care eLearning Programme for Secondary Students Launched during Palliative Care Week

St Francis Hospice Dublin and All Ireland Institute for Hospice and Palliative Care (AIIHPC) today officially launched a new eLearning programme to teach secondary school pupils in Ireland about palliative care and the role of hospices in helping people with life limiting illnesses to achieve the best quality of life possible.

The launch took place during Palliative Care Week, an all-Ireland initiative to raise awareness and provide education about palliative care. The staff and students of Santa Sabina school, Sutton, who piloted the eLearning package earlier this year, were on hand for the launch.
