The ‘Opening the Spiritual Gate e-learning package’ is a simple yet really effective way of understanding more about the spiritual needs of patients. (more…)
Cheshire & Merseyside Palliative & End of Life Care Network (CMPEoLCN) and Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network (GMCCN) chose this programme to increase spiritual awareness and improve the confidence of staff in assessing and meeting the spiritual and religious needs of patients and families.
Trained OSG facilitators deliver face to face courses to their own local health professional workforce. The online learning programme, which usually costs £50 per person, currently has a number of free places available. These are open to any health professional working within the
Cheshire & Merseyside Palliative & End of Life Care Network or Greater Manchester, Lancashire & South Cumbria Network. Other Networks and health organisations outside these areas are welcome to discuss how this programme may be rolled out in their area.

Reviews of Opening the Spiritual Gate – Online
I have recently completed Opening the Spiritual Gate course on line. It is the most enlightening course I have participated in.
At first I was apprehensive. Was on line learning for me? – I’m not that IT literate, and usually get a lot from a group discussion.
