Introducing the Education Team at St Wilfrid's

We are a small core team supported by a large number of very experienced expert practitioners who teach on our courses and ensure that theory is underpinned by sound and lively discussion of practice.  These expert lecturer practitioners include Medical Consultants and Clinical Nurse Specialists mainly from St Wilfrid's Hospice and St Richard's Hospital.  Our Complementary Therapies programmes are taught by highly qualified therapists with considerable experience in palliative care.
