RBCS training

Text

The Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), offers training programmes in RBCS which focus on the emotional wellbeing of all staff and creating a sustainable, compassionate service for patients and families.

Visit the FoNS website to for more information and to book your place on a training course.

Once initial facilitators have been trained in RBCS, they can cascade the model within your organisation. This enables and empowers teams to offer peer-led sessions that complement any existing wellbeing strategies at your hospice.

Funding support

Members of Hospice UK may be eligible for a professional development grant from the Masonic Foundation to support them to undertake this course. 

When making an application for this funding, it is important to be specific in your free text answers. Mention how the model would work in your hospice and the benefit to staff and patients.  

Please visit our Grants page to find out more and apply.

RBCS workshop: Building Capacity, Enabling Sustainability

Text

People who have previously completed RBCS Participatory Learning training via Hospice UK and the FoNS are invited to join a new, two-part workshop. This workshop will take place in September 2025.

This workshop has been designed to support people to train and develop your own facilitators. It is essential that participants attend both parts of the training.

Our goal is to provide the knowledge and resources needed to help you successfully grow capacity in your hospice to support implementation of the model, and enabling sustainability for the future.
