Abstract

Provision of palliative and end of life care (PEOLC) education is a crucial core com-ponent of providing an effective, multidisciplinary workforce. Education frame-works 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. For education programmes to be effective, training needs to be consistent and available. Currently, England, Scotland and Ireland have a country-specific standardised competency framework for the education of the palliative care workforce, but Wales does not. Also, a recent service evaluation in Cardiff and the Vale has identified areas of inequity regarding standardised PEOLC education. The End-of-Life Board (EOLB) in Wales has prioritised the need for an all-Wales strategy to PEOLC education and to identify whether an already established competency framework may work, or whether a Wales specific framework may be required. This rapid review will aim to identify any established PEOLC education frameworks from the published literature and map the core domains and competencies included within them. The findings will then be used by C&V UHB and EOLB to inform a Wales specific PEOLC education core competency framework.
