PEPA aims to improve health professionals’ knowledge, skills and confidence in the palliative approach to care for people with a life limiting illness.
Topics covered:
• Principles/models of palliative care
• Symptom management
• Pharmacy in Palliative Care
• Communication, Team Work and Self Care
• Case Studies
Urgent care is medical attention that is required within 2-12 hours for an illness or injury that is not life-threatening.
The aim of this research project is to evaluate the efficacy of a practice nurse-coordinated intervention - Targeting Treatable Traits in COPD to Prevent Hospitalisations (TERRACOTTA) – in the Australian primary care.
'Protecting Communities: Empowering Health through Disease Control and Immunisation’
The Communicable Diseases & Immunisation Conference 2024 will identify ways to share our expertise and insights, improve systems and processes and promote adaptation to an ever-changing environment. The conference will aim to help build new links and connections, cement existing relationships and maximise cooperative and collaboration. We will aim to set out the challenges and find solutions together.
We are delighted to share an initiative by the Australian Digital Health Agency that aims to enhance the digital health literacy of health care professionals, both patients and their carers. In an era where technology is transforming the healthcare landscape, healthcare professionals must guide their patients in navigating and utilising digital health tools effectively.

Explain Pain works to reduce catastrophisation and negative pain beliefs and when combined with active treatment, reduces pain and enhances return to work and play.
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is an evidence-based, graded brain training programme that accesses the brain’s virtual body. It is useful for a wide range of chronic pain states where the central nervous system may be up-regulated, including osteoarthritis, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, phantom pains and ‘non-specific’ spinal pains. It gives new hope to many people in pain.
GMI involves using Apps, Flashcards, motor imagery, mirrors and Explain Pain education. In this course, participants gain confidence and skills to use GMI immediately and to integrate it into their current practice effectively. The course is structured around practical sessions supported by discussions of clinical applications.
