Nurse palliative care: postgraduate certificates and MSc
Ongoing programmePATCH-funded pathways for nurses in acute hospitals to gain certificates and MSc-level palliative care training, with partners such as St Columba’s Hospice and QMU.
PATCH has repeatedly funded nurses in acute settings to gain graduate certificates, certificates, and MSc-level palliative care qualifications—often delivered with partners such as St Columba’s Hospice and Queen Margaret University.
The charity profile highlights multiple strands of support, including funded places on postgraduate certificate/diploma/MSc routes, cohort learning with specialist staff, and follow-on mentoring so learning translates into better bedside care.
The related articles include interviews with nurses about what that support meant in practice on the wards.
