The webinar introduces the topic of Public Palliative Care Education (PPCE) and Last Aid. Most people would prefer to die at home. But this is often not possible because they lack support from relatives, friends, neighbours and communities. Public Palliative Care Education, which aims to educate the public, empower citizens and enhance the public discourse about death and dying, is thus a vital key to achieving community participation.
Members of the task force provided four short presentations:
Marius Ciurlionis (Ministry of Health, Lithuania) talks about Mapping the education needs of family members in Lithuania.
Georg Bollig, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark) and Erika Zelko (University of Linz, Austria) provide an overview of the existing Last Aid research and the work of the Last Aid Research Group (LARGE).
Mark Hazelwood (Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care, Scotland) presents End of life Aid Skills for Everyone (EASE).
Jamie Woodworth (University of Lund, Sweden) talks about Developing capacity for caring in civil society through education in “Last Aid”: An attempt at strengthening the social sustainability of care-work at the end of life.
