Course detail
Loss and Bereavement
This CPD course provides health and social care staff with a practical understanding of loss, grief and bereavement in adult care settings. It explains how people may respond when someone dies or when they experience other significant losses, and how staff can offer compassionate, person-centred support while working within professional boundaries, local policy and legal responsibilities. Grief affects people differently, and there is no single ‘normal’ way to grieve.
