ApresentaçãoPresentation
This micro-credential offers comprehensive training in end-of-life care, particularly in the last 48 hours. These final hours of life are crucial in caring for the sick person and their family, creating opportunities to do what is most important and avoiding any form of future remorse or regret. Recognising that the sick person is deteriorating and approaching death can be complex, but scientific evidence helps to anticipate this moment, allowing: -The physical, emotional and spiritual comfort of the person at the end of life to be ensured. -The memory of the dying process to be as positive as possible through the care and support provided. This course enables doctors, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and other health professionals to better understand the active process of dying and to act in the presence of the person at the end of life, encouraging good practices with a view to a peaceful and dignified death.
