Overview

Public health approaches to dying, grief, caregiving and loss have been a part of government and palliative care policies for almost two decades, promoting community readiness and integration into medical training. But public health training is limited and emphasises surveillance sciences over practical applications like community development or civic policy.

Throughout this Public Health (Palliative and End-of-Life Care) (Part-Time) programme from Northumbria University, you will critically evaluate public health theories, policies, and practices, focusing on health promotion, improvement, care services, and civic actions.

Your Future

You’ll develop key skills valued by employers, including organisation, teamwork, communication, and networking, essential for careers in health promotion, the NHS, hospices, care homes, local authorities, and research.

Graduates could aspire to careers with policy organisations such as Hospice UK, Marie Curie, Macmillan, Age UK, Alzheimer’s Society, Compassionate Communities UK, and/or Public Health Palliative Care International.
