About PCC4U

 The PCC4U project is an initiative of the Australian Government  
 Department of Health and Ageing, through the  National Palliative Care 
 Program. The PCC4U project aims to: 

  • Promote and sustain the inclusion in all health care training of the role of palliative care and its principles and practice in the care of people who are dying.

  • Support the inclusion of palliative care education as an integral part of all medical, nursing, and allied health undergraduate and entry to practice training, and ongoing professional development.

  • Inform a whole of workforce approach to palliative care education in all health education and training.

 PCC4U project, and include six main components:  

  • Active promotion of the uptake of the PCC4U resources in all universities in Australia that offer medical, nursing, and allied health undergraduate and entry to practice training.
  • Maintenance and nurturing of the networks that have developed between participating universities and their faculties. 
  • Extension of  networks to include the universities and faculties which take up the curriculum in the future.
  • Development of  strategies for the ongoing sustainability of the PCC4U project.
  • Maintainance and distribution of the existing newsletter for stakeholders.
