Northern Territory Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach

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 offers funded learning opportunities for health care providers with a pathway to develop and enhance skills, knowledge and confidence in the palliative approach.  This experiential pathway provides a range of learning activities that include workshops and workforce placements with a specialist palliative care service.

Introduction to the palliative approach, delivered in community venues to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care providers, community professionals and community members.  This program is flexible and can be customised to local needs.
