Spirituality is an important aspect of holistic care that is frequently overlooked. This study unit seeks to critically discuss the importance of integrating the spiritual dimension of care in the care of the elderly, while identifying the difficulties in conceptualising spirituality/religiosity in elderly care. The programme aims to explore implementation models, theories, and frameworks in competencies for spiritual care, with a particular focus on the EPICC European standard in core competencies in spiritual care (2016-2019). It seeks to explain the theoretical and practical underpinnings of effective leadership, expertise, and collaborative approaches to equip healthcare providers to effectively incorporate spirituality into their practice.
