Free data protection training for the palliative care sector

Published on 1 Aug, 2025

At Tkm Consulting and Associates, we’re committed to supporting the wider community and for 2025 our focus is the palliative care sector. 

Do you work in data protection within the palliative care sector? 

You may be eligible if you are:

  • A Caldicott Guardian 
  • A data protection officer or records manager, working in a hospice or other third sector palliative care services (employed or voluntary) 
  • In another employed or volunteer role within third sector palliative care services, with demonstrable data protection responsibilities 

What is the offer? 

If you work in one of the roles outlined above, you may be eligible for a fully funded or heavily subsidised place on one of our attended live online or on-demand training courses, including: 

Beginner

Intermediate

We are also offering dedicated workshops for the palliative care sector, attended live online, running 1330-1630: 

  • 6 October: Data Protection – the basics for palliative care organisations 
  • 7 October: Being a Caldicott Guardian in a palliative care organisation 
  • 20 October: Handling Data Subject Access Requests in a palliative care organisation

See our full course listings. 

For online on-demand courses, you will be given access once your place is confirmed.  

 For attended online courses, we will offer you a place on a specific date, but we reserve the right to transfer you to the next available course date should the need arise. 

How are we able to offer free training?

For every booking we take on our attended live courses (public and in-house), and our online, on demand Practitioner and Foundation courses, Tkm Consulting & Associates put 10% of the booking value into a designated fund. This fund is used to support the fully funded or subsidised training for practitioners in the palliative care sectors.
