ELM
is an umbrella organisation for all
non medical end of life care.
Our philosophy is that we can make a difference to those whose journey is taking them towards the end of their lives, through training their carers - whether professional carers or family members.
We train carers to understand all aspects of end of life care. Awareness and training is the key to a better quality of end of life.
Our book End of Life Care, the Essential Guide for Caring will be available in October 2009 (Hammersmith Press)
We believe that those who have been bereaved need to access support from the environment in order to have a healthy grieving process. We are promoting the ELM leaf emblem as an external symbol of mourning to replace the long forgotten tradition of the black armband or wearing of black. The leaf will shortly be available as a brooch or pin through our website

"I am the Area Manager for several of the Registered Care Homes that Judy
gave workshops to, in Caring for People with Dementia and Grief and Bereavement.
I have received very positive feed back from the participants that the training
was informative, interesting and relevant. Given the diversity of our employees
and under equal opportunities, full consideration was given to those for whom
English is not a first language. Handouts were prepared and distributed for staff
to use as a point of reference at a later date.
Judy was responsive and empathetic when we needed immediate support for
staff following the sudden demise of a service user and I would not hesitate
to recommend her as a trainer."
