LOROS TRAINING
Course information
We know that for a lot of patients and their families the transition from children to adult hospice services can be really stressful. They have often used the same services for years so they know and trust the staff. They can also be anxious about adult services being different and about all the other changes that happen when someone turns 18 years.
Getting transition right and understanding the needs of young people is vital. This face to face, joint training session run by Rainbows and LOROS aims to offer a better understanding of how we can support young people and their families to feel more confident and comfortable about accessing accessing adult palliative care services.
