Training and Education
We have a unique education facility within our grounds – the Pepperell Education Centre, which opened in 2007. It provides a conference centre with lecture and meeting rooms, a comprehensive library, internet and database access, and catering facilities.
We provide teaching to healthcare professionals and carers via courses and study days, organising a broad ranging education programme that encompasses both specialist palliative care delivery and topics of wider interest. Our team is committed to the aims of the National Council for Hospices and Specialist Palliative Care and subscribes to holistic principles of care provision.
The Education Centre is available for hire to agencies or organisations looking for a peaceful venue in which to hold conferences, seminars or other similar events. Please contact us for details of hire rates or information about our latest course programme.
