UNISON Ulearn Northern Ireland

Wilf McSherry, Professor in Dignity of Care for Older People, Staffordshire University, and Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust will facilitate a half day morning workshop with an evening lecture on Monday 22nd February. Wilf who still works as a nurse will explore the role of spirituality in end of life care.

It will be argued that the challenge for all working in health care is how we reintegrate spirituality and dignity in care so that those primary and founding values are again at the heart of all we do. The workshop will explore spirituality and health care practice while the lecture will focus on what we mean by ‘treatment’ and ‘care’ presenting some reasons why these have been displaced.

Workshop 10am - 1pm is open to UNISON members only
Lecture 6.30 - 8pm is open to members of the public
