Rebecca completed a PEPA placement so as to enhance her knowledge of Palliative aspects of care that are delivered throughout the acute care, community care and hospice settings within WA. This is vital to understand for Rebecca’s work with RFDS.
Once Rebecca completed her placement she returned to her workplace to share the knowledge of what she had observed and how this information is important in the care of the patients they care for in their region. Rebecca then held an in-service for the team so as they can learn more about how to participate in a PEPA placement to grow their understanding of the palliative care services that are available for patients in the region.
