Are you an experienced nurse wishing to enhance your skills, knowledge and competence in the process of conducting a physical assessment for a palliative care patient?
This ‘hands-on’ one day workshop is a must for senior nurses i.e. Clinical Nurse Specialists, Clinical Nurse Consultants, Nurse Practitioners or Nurse Practitioner Candidates.
This Masterclass will be facilitated by experienced palliative care clinicians.
Program objectives:
To describe the purpose and process for conducting a systematic approach to physical assessment of the palliative care patient.
To be able to perform an accurate and detailed clinical assessment with a focus on abdominal, respiratory systems and the Mental State Examination.
To ensure documentation accurately reflects the findings of the clinical assessment, and articulates assessment outcomes.
