Health professionals who have undertaken PEPA placements

Health professional participants who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
Ongoing evaluation of PEPA/IPEPA continues to show that the program is having a positive and sustainable impact on the confidence and skills of health professionals in the delivery of a palliative approach to care, and the strengthening of networks and linkages between generalist and specialist palliative care providers.

There is evidence that placement participants implement a range of strategies to disseminate new knowledge at the local level, and improve delivery of care following participation in the program.

THE POSITIVE IMPACT

WE MAKE

Palliative Approach Workshop Participant (Medical Practitioner)

As a GP working in Aged Care and regularly caring for patients and families in the ‘Dying Time’, I found the Workshop addressed the ‘real experience’ of managing palliative care.

It was an exceptional and deeply meaningful learning experience that has had a significant and immediate impact on our team.. a safe space for open conversation, critical reflection and shared learning.

Palliative Approach Workshop participant (Paramedic)

I liked the direct, honest approach, with current information. It was great to have an education session targeted at paramedics. The venue was professional and receiving lunch/snacks was awesome!

Staff found it easy to understand and apply the concepts thanks to the engaging delivery style, cheerful energy and thoughtful pacing.. creating a learning environment that was both inclusive and dynamic.
