Skills for Care is now offering free access to e-End of Life Care for All (e-ELCA) for adult social care employers registered with the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC).

The new access in partnership with DH e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) is a free and innovative e-learning resource that aims to enhance the training and knowledge of all those involved in delivering end of life care.

The website offers more than 130 easy to use and interactive e-learning sessions covering all aspects of end of life care including assessment, advance care planning, symptom management and communication skills.

Commissioned by the Department of Health (DH) and the National End of Life Care Programme to support the National End of Life Care Strategy (2008), e-ELCA has been developed by the Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland in partnership with e-LfH.
