This M.Sc. in Palliative Care is open to a wide range of Interdisciplinary professionals who have experience in delivering a palliative care approach within practice within the last two years. Interdisciplinary Input to the design, development and delivery of this course stems from a variety of Schools within Trinity College, Dublin Including the School of Nursing and Midwifery, The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the School of Occupational Therapy.
