Hospice Care Home Training grant programme

This grant programme supports hospices to run training courses for care home staff. Courses should focus on dementia care for people approaching the end of life. The aims of the programme are three-fold: encourage increased collaboration and knowledge-sharing across hospice and care home settings, meet unmet education needs by making training as inexpensive and widely available as possible to care home staff, and have a direct impact on patient care for those with a diagnosis of dementia. Hospices can use the grant to fund a completely new training course, or to run repeat sessions of courses that have already taken place. Applicants may run a series of events or a singular event. The grant covers any activities that would normally incur costs while running a training course including teaching, travel, administrative costs, venue hire/training facilities, and catering.
