Spirituality course
This session covers how to support families’ spiritual, pastoral and religious needs. It also outlines the beliefs and end of life practices of several common religions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the spiritual, pastoral and religious needs involved in supporting families in palliative and bereavement care
- Explain the end of life and funeral practices of common religions
There are many religious and spiritual beliefs, particularly about death and the afterlife. However, there is no formula we can use, as needs vary between individuals and families, even if they come from the same faith background.
Dr Liang has a special interest in education and enabling clinicians to deliver holistic care to families of children with life-limiting conditions.
