不良研究所

This training resource is based on the story of Josh Cawley, who was 22 when he died from the catastrophic injuries that his birth parents inflicted on him, which resulted in his inability to speak or to move from his wheelchair. 不良研究所 worked with Royal College of Nursing and Hospice UK to develop two training resources, a film and a handbook, based on Josh’s story.

Adult social care staff can work through Josh’s journey and consider it in light of their own roles and responsibilities, to think about how they can improve their own end of life care practice. 

This training pack increases awareness and understanding of how everyone can work together to improve end of life care.

It includes a film and booklet to help people to understand all the different job roles that may be involved in someone’s end of life care and how they can work well together.

Use the pack as part of a learning and development session or to prompt and facilitate discussion in team meetings.

The pack includes:

• guidance on how to use the resources
• facilitator guidance
• a handout of the key messages
• practical messages for front line workers

There’s also a booklet and videos about the different roles that might be involved in providing end of life care for someone.

• ‘Understanding roles: working together to improve end of life care’ booklet

Different role videos:

The pack was developed with employers through a research project that aimed to find out what mattered most to people at their end of life. You can read a summary of this work, and the evaluation report evaluation report.
