Advanced Diploma in Palliative Care Nursing
Jointly offered and conducted by School of Health Sciences, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, National Cancer Centre Singapore and Assisi Hospice, the Advanced Diploma in Palliative Care Nursing (ADPCN) addresses Singapore’s demand for palliative care services by equipping Registered Nurses (RNs) with advanced competencies essential for caring of patients and families facing serious illnesses. The course enables the RNs to progress to Advanced Diploma level and enables them to obtain profound insights and skills to deliver and coordinate high-quality end-of-life care using evidence-based practices.
