The Postgraduate Course in Palliative Care and End of Life intends to train and develop professional, scientific, technical and relational skills appropriate to the care of a Person in Chronic and Palliative Situation. The paradigm of caring in person in a chronic and palliative situation, evidenced in the creation of the National Network of Continuing Integrated Care (RNCCI), justifies the creation of the Postgraduate Course in Palliative Care and End of Life (CPGCPFV). The CPGCPFV of the ESSV seeks to develop skills and train professionals in the area of Health and Social Sciences, enabling them to care for the person / family / caregiver to experience chronic / palliative health / illness processes in order to promote health quality of life, disease prevention and treatment, functional readaptation and social reinsertion, or follow-up of the process of death and dying in all contexts of life.
The learning process proposed for the Course assumes as a prerequisite the possession of a degree. Considering that students already possess the competences established for the first level of training, with the CPGCPFV it is intended that the students develop, deepen and investigate in the area of Continuous and Palliative. Therefore, throughout the course students should:
Acquire scientific, technical, human, ethical and intervention knowledge and skills necessary to provide continuous and palliative care;
Demonstrate competencies in the implementation of a quality care plan for people with chronic, advanced and progressive illness, as well as their family and social group of belonging, maximizing their quality of life and reducing suffering according to the philosophy of care always in collaboration with the other interdisciplinary team;
To develop experiences of care practice with different palliative care teams, in an inpatient or home care setting, in the country and / or abroad;
To promote an understanding of the biopsychosocial dimensions of suffering and disease;
Develop resource management capacities in order to design, plan, carry out and evaluate institutional and community intervention programs;
Demonstrate ethical, humanistic principles of respect for values, customs, religions and all other aspects inherent to intervention in palliative care.
