Improving End of Life Care in Africa

Watch the recorded sessions of Best Care for the Dying Person, APCA's 12-session education programme built on the International Collaborative for Best Care for the Dying Person's 10 Key Principles and 10/40 Model. Study at your own pace, whenever suits you.

Aim of the programme: to strengthen the knowledge, confidence and practical skills of health and care workers in giving compassionate, individualised, culturally appropriate and evidence-informed care to people in the last days and hours of life, and to those important to them.

How to study

The sessions build on each other, so work through them in order.

1

Watch in order

Begin with Session 1, which sets out why care for the dying must improve and how to recognise dying.

2

Pause and reflect

After each session, think about how the principles apply to the patients and families you care for.
