Nurse Specialist & Advanced Practitioner Forum – March 2024

ABOUT THE COURSE

Isabel Hospice and Garden House Hospice Care are delighted to be working alongside the palliative educationalists at Lister Hospital and HCT to support our nurse specialist teams in the work we do.  This half day is an opportunity for nurse specialists and advanced practitioners to meet each other from different areas.  There will be educational topics alongside an awareness about organisations who are there to support the work we do.  There will be an opportunity to learn from each other and we hope the Forum will evolve to meet your highlighted training needs.

This is a collaborative venture and so we would love to hear from you is you would like to support or have wish for us to explore an area of interest at these forums.  Please contact nicky.wood@isabelhospice.co.uk to discuss further.
