| Sumario: | Successfully completing the ‘Foundations in End of Life/Palliative Care’ distance-learning module has had a measurable effect on the knowledge, competence and confidence of community nurses in the principles and practice of palliative and end-of-life care.

This article provides evidence from the quantitative and qualitative data from pre- and post-module self-assessment questionnaires along with the successful completion of an electronic multiple-choice questionnaire and short-answer classroom test to demonstrate this. |
