Content scheduling
The course consists of four themes and related tasks:
- people-centreness (task 1)
- empowering patient education (task 2)
- cultural perspective in palliative care (task 3)
- images of death in the media (tasks 4a and 4b)
The literature can be found in the source lists of the lecture slides. The course is designed so that it can be completed at your own pace during the course. It is recommended to proceed in the order offered. All tasks have the same return date on March 14, 2021 (note: task 4a return times), so please take care of your own schedule. My own polytechnic may deviate from the general schedule and arrange its own contact teaching.
Further information
The course is designed so that it can be completed largely independently of time and place. Each school can arrange its own contact teaching. The school informs its students about possible contact teaching and deviating return times for assignments.
