Excerpt from the Introduction:

Introduction to the Study Guide for Health Care Workers

The goal of Life and Death Matters is to create engaging educational resources that will help caregivers develop the “essential” knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide
excellent care for people who are dying.
This workbook is specifically written for health care workers. If you are using this as part of a “class” you may be assigned sections to complete, participate in small group discussion/role plays etc. If using this as a self study guide I encourage you to use it in whatever way helps you to reflect on your own beliefs, interact with the concepts and content, and apply theory in practice. You may request input from a mentor, gather a study group to facilitate learning, and/or request clinical supervision to assist in implementation.
