The blended learning education in paediatric palliative care (PPC) piloted in 2021, has shown positive results in usability and practice implementation. Pilot evaluation revealed of the 27 participants, 24 reported they were likely or very likely to communicate with families about PPC, 26 were likely or very likely to communicate with health professionals about PPC, and 24 were likely or very likely to access PPC resources. The quality of care collaborative Australia (QuoCCA) project has again supported the development of eLearning modules in PPC; neonatal palliative care and adolescent and young adult (AYA) palliative care. Health professionals caring for seriously ill children, learn about paediatric palliative care, from new born to young adults, by completing 7 case-based modules in their own time, then practise the skills essential to providing confident care in the safety of either a face-to-face , or online workshop.
Hear from the development team how adult learning principles were applied to create authentic and challenging learning experiences, what lessons were learnt, and how the model can translate across to other specialty services in health.
