PEPA - Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach
The Professional Development Centre is implementing the Program of Experience in the Palliative Approach (PEPA) in Western Australia, which is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health & Ageing under the National Palliative Care Program.
PEPA provides health professionals - doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and Aboriginal health workers - with an opportunity to develop skills in the palliative approach by undertaking a supervised clinical attachment in a specialised palliative care service in Perth.
