Courses
Registered Nurse Verification of Expected Adult Death (NVoEAD)
This hour long session is suitable for Registered Nurses who routinely manage patients who are at the end of their life and are based within the Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes area.
The RN must have someone in their workplace who is able to sign off their competencies or have contacts with a medical professional involved in their patient’s care who would be able to assess the Registered Nurse competence in NVoEAD.
During this training, we will not be able to sign off to say the RN is competent.
During this session you will explore what Registered Nurse Verification of Expected Adult Death is, who can and cannot be verified and the process of verification of a patient.
