I conducted an in-service on my experience with the PEPA placement that took place at Clare Holland House between 14-16 February 2023 for the acute Occupational Therapy department at Calvary Bruce Public Hospital. This was an informative session that explained the PEPA placement and what my goals were as an acute OT. It was a good opportunity to provide clarity surrounding the continuity of care for an individual under palliative care whilst in the acute setting who then either returns home in the community or transfers to CHH, as well as understanding the palliative care approach and the purpose of CHH- which can be lost amongst the MDT within the acute setting.
