PEPA
The Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA) forms part of the Palliative Care Education and Training Collaborative. As a national palliative care project, this Collaborative takes a strategic approach to education and training of the health workforce and delivers programs for priority health care provider groups across primary, secondary and tertiary settings.
Specifically, PEPA aims to enhance the capacity of health professionals to deliver a palliative care approach through their participation in either clinical placements in specialist palliative care services or interactive workshops.
PEPA provides opportunities to develop confidence, knowledge and skills in the palliative approach to care through:
- funded clinical workforce placements or workshops
- integration of learning into your workplace
- establishing networks of support
The PEPA learning experience can help you, as a health care provider, to:
- gain a clear understanding of the principles of good palliative care
- identify the needs of your patients with life-limiting conditions
- understand the role of your discipline in managing common problems faced by palliative care patients
- recognise your own knowledge base/scope of practice in regard to optimal palliative care provision
- identify personal coping strategies for effective management of personal issues related to working in this area.
PEPA is being implemented in all Australian states and territories and applicants from rural and remote areas are encouraged to apply.
This program provides an ideal opportunity to learn from experienced specialist staff to enhance skills, knowledge and experience in the palliative approach.
