Program Description
Around the world there is growing interest in end of life care, assisted dying, and the cultural values that surround death and bereavement. This postgraduate programme will offer you new and critical perspectives on end of life practice and policy, palliative care, cultural representations of death and dying, and related ethical questions.WHY THIS PROGRAMME
- We will examine new theories, key concepts and a variety of research methods relating to end of life issues.
- As the global population ages and grows, so too does the number of deaths in the world each year. We explore new patterns of ageing and dying, and the implications of these for policy and practice.
- We will examine the specific challenges of delivering optimal end of life care in the global context, examining diverse models of care, their implementation in differing cultural settings and the global spread of palliative care approaches.
- We will explore some of the diverse cultural beliefs surrounding what makes a ‘good death’ and consider global attempts to improve end of life care.
- We consider the expanding debate surrounding the legalisation of assisted dying, and examine the implications for policy and practice in different settings.
- Designed for and delivered on the FutureLearn platform.
