Prostate cancer and end-of-life care

We are proud to launch our new online, interactive learning resource for health professionals. 

These online modules use simulated 'virtual patient scenarios' to introduce and explore key issues around prostate cancer, such as end-of-life care. These patient scenarios are primarily aimed at registered nurses and healthcare assistants, and are particularly suitable for those new to working with patients affected by prostate cancer.

By following Brian's patient scenario you will:

• Gain understanding into the importance of interdisciplinary communication and documentation when caring for men nearing the end of their life
• Review current guidelines for pain management in patients who are nearing the end of their life
• Improve knowledge surrounding cardiopulmonary resuscitation
• Consider the challenges of prioritising care for men who are nearing the end of their life.
