In this week’s MILE newsletter we focus on end-of-life care, sharing courses and resources to help you navigate the unique challenges of this emotive subject and support you in delivering compassionate, person-centred care.
Compassionate leadership is associated with enhanced learning and innovation, lower staff stress, and improved patient care.

Course format: This course consists of six weekly sessions, each lasting two hours, along with several optional two-hour online consolidation sessions designed to reinforce your practice and learning. The curriculum integrates mindfulness and compassion practices during each session, fostering a space for reflection and discussion. Participants are also encouraged to engage in mindfulness and compassion exercises at home, aimed at nurturing compassion for themselves and the individuals they lead and collaborate with.
Course dates: This course runs on Thursdays from 30th January 2025 – 13th March 2025 between 15:00pm – 17:00pm. There is no session on 20th February 2025.

In this week’s newsletter, we’re revisiting a core principle that drives effective adult social care: person-centred care. At its heart, person-centred care is about recognising that each individual has unique needs, preferences, and values, and ensuring that they remain at the centre of their own care journey. Here you will find a few resources and courses to help you create an environment that focuses on embedding person-centred ways of working throughout your service through care planning, personalisation and meaningful engagement.
Please also keep an eye out for our upcoming newsletters that will look into key areas of person-centred practice in more depth including culturally appropriate care and positive risk enablement.
