OUTCOMES

years since the PEPA placements program began

1,500

Health professionals who have undertaken PEPA placements

500

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.
