Palliative Care
The End-of-life Care for All (e-ELCA) programme is an elearning library which provides over 180 different interactive elearning modules.  It is run through E-Learning For Healthcare and links automatically to your eportfolio.  We wouldn't recommend setting out to do all 180 modules but it is definitely worth having a look at what they include.
