regularly. Media Watch gives rich overview on end-of-life care, and is posted weekly on the site of International Palliative Care Resource Center (http://www.ipcrc.net/archive-global-palliative-care-news.php ).
Media Watch is compiled and annotated by Barry R. Ashpole who is involved in end-of-life care since 1985, and teaches health care providers about different aspects of palliative care in Ontario, Canada. Topics include communications and informed decision making; ethics and legal aspects of end of life care; psychosocial aspects of palliative care; and, death grief and bereavement.

Training
From the start, The Hungarian Hospice Foundation has had among its goals the task of education, training and the spreading of knowledge on hospice care and its spirit. The silence and communication vacuum around a seriously ill person sentences the patient to loneliness and relatives to problems that are hard to solve. Our goal is to turn the public’s attention to the problems of patients and those caring for them and to make the right to proper palliative care, home care and pain relief obvious and easy to assert. Beside education, we also seek to provide help and information for the seriously ill and their families, to train hospice staff and to promote a change of attitude in wider fields of health care.
We are looking forward to applications for our palliative therapy and hospice trainings in all the fields represented in a multidisciplinary hospice team. We are ready to hold trainings for nurses, physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, teologists and representatives of other fields, providing opportunities to visit the Budapest Hospice House.
Also, we are open for applications by students looking for field-work opportunities, and invite all those interested to our programmes for volunteers and non-professional helpers.
