Study Days and Courses
The Study Centre offers a wide range of study days, courses and conferences in many aspects of palliative care. These are delivered by specialist staff working at Sobell House and by an invited faculty of external teachers to ensure that our courses deliver up-to-date knowledge and reflect best practice. Courses range from short half day sessions to two and three day courses and attract a variety of participants – from volunteers to experienced health care practitioners, locally, nationally and internationally.

Education and Training for Sobell House Staff
Sobell House is committed to the professional development of all staff and volunteers in order to ensure that patients and their families benefit from quality care, and an education fund enables staff to attend courses where possible. The Study Centre has a specialist palliative care library providing access to specialist journals and books. Many staff study diploma or degree courses in palliative care mainly offered by Oxford Brookes University and intellectual stimulation is provided by House forums, journal clubs, reflective practice discussions and interactions with visitors from the UK and overseas.

Opportunities to visit Sobell House
The Study Centre also supports the dissemination of knowledge by co-ordinating requests to visit Sobell House. There are regular opportunities for half day visits that provide an overview of our work and the chance to meet with specialist staff. We also offer tailor made programmes for individuals and groups and one or two week clinical placements. For further information about our visitors programme see Visitors.
