MULTI-PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION & TRAINING (MPET) TRAINING & EDUCATION FOR DOMICILIARY STAFF IN END OF LIFE CARE Caroline Flynn (Care Home Co-ordinator, End of Life Care Team, MCCN) Merseyside & Cheshire End of Life and Palliative Care Clinical Network Group

Research Domiciliary care workers play a vital role in enabling patients to be cared for in their own home. Positive aspects identified are physical and social support. (McIlfatrick 2007) DoH (2008) suggests there are significant unmet training needs despite having a key role in providing care. There is a lack of research on the role, focusing specifically on end of life care. (Devlin 2009)
