This webinar introduces a new national paediatric palliative care e-learning resource that is nearing launch across Aotearoa New Zealand. Developed to support health professionals caring for children and young people with complex health conditions, the resource aims to improve access to practical, evidence-informed paediatric palliative care education regardless of geographical location or clinical setting. The presentation will explore the journey of developing the e-learning, including collaboration and consultation with paediatric palliative care services, Māori and Pacific health professionals, and clinicians across Aotearoa. It will provide an overview of the content and demonstrate how the resource aims to strengthen generalist paediatric palliative care capability, promote culturally safe and equitable care, and ultimately improve experiences for tamariki, rangatahi and whānau.
