CPCRE - Education - General Practitioners
Target: All General Medical Practitioners in Queensland.
The Centre manages the Queensland Health General Practice Palliative Care Education Initiative which enables development of educational resources and facilitates clinical experience in palliative care for General Medical Practitioners.
The objectives of the GP Education Program:
- Encourage partnership in both education and service delivery, between specialist palliative care services and the Divisions of General Practice
- Develop evidence-based education resources accessible to GPs in all locations
- Enhance the workforce capacity of GPs to provide palliative care
- Provide educational and practical support for GPs in their role as primary palliative care providers.
The Centre facilitates a biannual education forum for GPs that provide them opportunities to discuss clinical management with palliative care specialist and to gain an update in current best practice. In addition the Centre provides educational workshops and seminars for palliative care specialists and generalist medical, nursing and allied health professionals.
CPCRE also works closely with the Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA), which aims to enhance the skills and expertise of GPs and other health care providers in end of life care.
