Educators in aged care
Educators in aged care have a vital role in building the knowledge, skills and competencies of their fellow professionals in delivering palliative care. In addition, aged care professionals need to help patients, families and carers better understand death and dying, and end of life care.
Educators may be professional trainers, aged care staff providing in-house education or health professionals assisting with specific clinical training.
The following resources are intended to support educators in:
- identifying and meeting their own professional development needs, and
- accessing resources that can help facilitate the upskilling of staff / students / team members / colleagues in aged care and palliative care.
