Palliative Care Education Resources

Palliative Care Education Framework

The Palliative Care Education Framework (PCEF) is an initiative that aims to provide users with an individualised and targeted approach to building their capability in providing specialist palliative care.

The PCEF provides access to a continuum of learning opportunities to support capability development of allied health, nursing and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Profession workforces in palliative care.

The PCEF is a 'living' matrix which consolidates access points to National, State and private sector open access education offerings and resources and sequences them into a pathway for optimal learning.

Any costs associated with courses on the PCEF will be the responsibility of clinicians.

Navigation

The courses, training options and resources in the PCEF can be filtered by users to enable them to select the right course to meet their individual needs at any point in time. It also enables learners to plan their learning over time to enhance understanding and foster knowledge, skills and emotional capacity to deliver palliative and end-of-life care.

Target audience

For clinicians new to palliative care it is recommended to commence at Core Learning on the learning continuum and work through relevant topics at each level suitable to individual learning. Experienced palliative care clinicians can navigate the matrix sequentially across the learning continuum for education and resources suitable to individual learning.

For educators and or leaders and managers of palliative care teams, the matrix is a tool that can assist in identifying opportunities to support individual and or team capability development against the National Palliative Care Standards and or the learning continuum.
