The hospice’s CEO, Neil McDonald, said nursing manager Sister Sue van Rijsbergen received many enquiries about courses for carers, so she decided to have another one-day course.
“The course is aimed at giving more information, and helping families cope with seriously ill patients at home, palliative nursing care and end-of-life care,” said McDonald.
The course will be R300 per person and includes tea and a light lunch. A certificate will be handed over at the end of the day. It will be on a first-come, first-serve basis so you have to book and pay beforehand.
