Advance Care Planning for young people with learning disabilities- Free Toolkit and Communication workshops in September

Would you like to know more about advance care planning for young people with learning disabilities?

 Would you like to develop skills and confidence in leading conversations with young people and families about end of life care?

 IF SO OUR TOOLKIT AND COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU

The University of Surrey and Health Education England Kent, Surrey and Sussex are developing a new education package called the ADVANCE programme.  It is aimed at helping those who work with people with learning disabilities and their families to communicate ethically and effectively about making an Advance Care Plan.  This enables people to have control and choice about their end of life care.

The ADVANCE programme consists of an Open Learning toolkit and a communications workshop lasting approximately two hours.

The Toolkit and workshops are free to use and attend and we are running these across Kent (in Canterbury), Sussex (Brighton) and at the University of Surrey. Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance. 

The first ADVANCE Workshops will be held at the University of Surrey in room 17DK02 on Friday 28th July from 9.30am to 12noon and 2pm to 4.30pm.

If you would like to attend, please email Matthew Peacock – m.peacock@surrey.ac.uk – to book a place by Wednesday 26th July.
