The Greater Washington Partnership for Palliative and End-of-Life Care
ELNEC Training Program

The Partnership expects to host its next ELNEC training in Spring 2010.

  • Get involved.  Find out how your organization can partner with us for the
    next ELNEC training.

The ELNEC (End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium) curriculum trains
health care professionals in the specialized knowledge and skills required to
provide the highest quality care to patients and families facing the end of life.

Although the ELNEC curriculum was developed for nursing professionals, we
encourage anyone interested in palliative care to join us.  At past trainings, our
audiences have included chaplains, hospice community liaisons, social
workers, care coordinators, and patient advocates, as well as nurses and
nursing assistants from hospice, palliative care, oncology, geriatrics, and
critical care.
