Abstract

Background/aims: Provision of palliative and end of life care (PEOLC) education is a crucial core component of providing an effective, multidisciplinary workforce. Education frameworks identify specific learning needs, promote consistent, inclusive and flexible approaches to education, address discipline-specific standards and support learning and development at individual, service, and organisational levels. The National Programme Board for Palliative and End of Life Care in Wales has prioritised the need for an all-Wales strategy to identify an established competency framework or develop a framework specific to Wales. To identify any established PEOLC education frameworks from the published literature and map the core domains and competencies included within them. Methods: Four key databases were searched from 2012-2022 for relevant published papers. Reference lists of systematic reviews were checked for appropriate studies. Methodology was used from the Palliative care Evidence Review Service (PaCERS) for this review, with some adaptations. Results: Of 84 articles identified, 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. Two frameworks were based in the UK (Scotland and England), 3 in the USA, 2 in Canada and 1 in Ireland. A mapping exercise was carried out, whereby competencies from identified frameworks were mapped to the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) Ten Core Competencies. Two multidisciplinary, comprehensive frameworks covered all ten EAPC domains across their competencies. Conclusions: Clinical-policy-academic partnership can produce evidence at pace and of immediate relevance, to directly impact on practice. Our review highlights how a rapid evidence service can help identify evidence- based practices for rapid implementation in compatible healthcare settings, maximizing efficiencies.
