Education Day

Expert-led learning shaped by real clinical experience.

Delivered by expert clinicians from Martin House Children's Hospice, our courses combine real-world experience, high‑fidelity simulation and trauma‑informed teaching to support professionals across health, social care and education.

Why learn with Martin House?

A new facility for Martin House in 2026, our education centre provides bespoke space to provide our training courses and simulation days. Based at our hospice in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, the education centre provides the perfect environment for learning and development.

Learn from experts, grounded in practice

Our education is led by consultants, clinical nurse specialists and practice educators working every day in paediatric palliative care.

Realistic, supportive learning environments

We use high‑fidelity simulation and facilitated debriefs to build confidence, encourage reflection and support meaningful learning across disciplines.

Trauma‑informed and compassionate

We recognise the emotional complexity of this work and create safe, respectful spaces for learning and discussion.

Flexible and relevant

From full simulation days to short modules and bespoke programmes, our courses fit around you and your organisation.
