Geographical Spread Geographical Spread
Spread of pre-registration courses • Nursing (16) • Medicine (5) • Social Work (1)
Interprofessional learning • 5 out of 31 respondents said their courses had shared learning across disciplines on the course • Of those this included: • Nurses • Medical students • AHPs • Social Workers • Assistant Health Care Practitioners
Educational Approaches Commonly face to face teaching, simulation and use of case scenarios Service users/carers involved in 1/3 of cases Personal values and reflection covered (1/3) Teaching Assessment
What could be done to improve education • Recognised educator to work alongside pre-registration teams • Incorporate generalist palliative care from year 1 medicine • Access to skilled mentors • Theme through three years • Module dedicated to EOLC at end of course • More patient and carer input • Use new nursing standards

Implications • Number of missing responses • Limited sample although reasonable spread • Focus tends to be on nursing staff/IPL not well embedded • Staff report mixed competence in skills albeit these are growing • PPC not used in teaching on university courses • Significant amount of training taught in house • Varied knowledge of EOLC tools and strategies • Teaching approaches seem in line with skills required • Opportunities for learning seem to be there – APPLICATION • There appears to be a gap in what is taught, learnt and applied when one compares views • Is practical assessment lacking? • Largely taught post qualification and through in-house training
