Community of Practice

PEPA’s Community of Practice is a space where all PEPA/IPEPA and PEPA Aged Care participants and mentors come together to share their experiences of learning in palliative care.

We encourage you to share your placement experience and post-placement activities with the Community of Practice once you have completed your placement.
