Perth & Kinross Palliatice Care Education Project:

The aim of the 23 month palliative care education project is, by taking an integrated and collaborative approach,  to support the development of a health and social care services workforce in Perth and Kinross who are knowledgeable and skilled in the provision of palliative and end of life care. This includes the validated edcuational approach Called project ECHO (Enhancing Community Health Outcomes) which links groups using video-technology and forms networks of learners.
 
Project ECHO is a hub and spoke model which develops knowledge-sharing networks with a specific focus, in this case palliative and end of life care.  It uses tele-mentoring and support to enable community providers to deliver speciality care and improve outcomes. Project ECHO has been used successfully throughout the world to disseminate and share knowledge and expertise across many healthcare disciplines. The edcuation team in Cornhill Macmillan Centre habe now been trained and are at the eraly stages of implementation.

NES SSSC Enriching and Improving Experience Framework:  

'Informed about palliative and end of life care' (NHS Education for Scotland, 2018)

This is an introductory learning resource for anyone who comes into contact with people who need palliative and end of life care, their families, and carers. It is made of a mixture of reading and learning activities that can be applied to any work setting, and is divided into five main sections : fundamental in palliative care; communication and conversations; loss, grief and bereavement; care planning and delivery; and care in the last days of life. This learning resource is based on the knowledge statements at the 'Informed' level of the 'Palliative and end of life care : enriching and improving experience' learning framework developed by NHS Education for Scotland and Scottish Social Services Council.
