This Work package aims to develop an online education programme about palliative sedation building upon the results of the previous WPs, including the observational study, the literature review and the updated EAPC framework for palliative sedation. The following objectives will guide the work:
- Design the content of an evidence based online educational programme to help clinicians, patients, families and interested people understand more about the practical, ethical and cultural aspects of palliative sedation
- Prepare resources to support the online programme
- Film ‘best practice’ examples to illustrate diversity in consortium countries
- Promote online programme and manage registrations for programme
- Deliver online programme
- Evaluate programme
Professor Nancy Preston is the Work Package 7 lead and talks about the aims and objectives of this team:
Work Package 7 Team
“In this work package we will be developing an online educational programme to help clinicians and the wider public understand how to use palliative sedation.”
“I will be leading the Dissemination and Exploitation activities of this project to ensure that all audiences are aware of the project and its findings.”
“I will lead on developing an online educational programme (MOOC) focusing on the role of palliative sedation within palliative care aimed at a broad international audience, particularly clinicians.”
“I will be involved in the preparation and editing of materials for the Palliative Sedation Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), particularly video resources.”
“I will be providing technical support for the project website and maintenance of background office communications.”
