AThe End-of-Life Essentials eLearning is free. The education is funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care

AThe education modules and supporting resources have been developed to help doctors, nurses and allied health professionals develop their skills and confidence in end-of-life care. Although, initially targeted at acute care, the education is applicable to a wide range of health settings. All components of the e-learning package draw upon the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care’s National Consensus Statement: Essential elements for safe and high-quality end-of-life care.

AThe length of time it takes to complete the modules varies from module to module. Generally, the minimum time is about 20 minutes. Some modules have videos, quizzes and self-reflection questions so they may take up to 1 ½ hours.

AUpdate your web browser to make sure you're using the latest version. Try the links to Vimeo underneath each of the videos – some learners find the videos often work using this video sharing platform. Try from a different device. Our modules are optimised for viewing from smart phones and tablets. Access our resources from your home, public library or free Wi-Fi hotspot.

AIf you don’t have any sound, you can read the dialogue in the module videos by turning on the closed captions. Closed captions on videos are not just beneficial for those who are hard of hearing, or who have English as a second language – anyone can find them useful. To turn on closed captions on a smartphone or tablet:

• While watching the video, tap the screen.
• Tap the speech bubble icon to open the 'Audio & Subtitles' menu.
• Choose the ‘English’ closed caption option.
• If you are viewing the videos in Vimeo, tap the 'CC icon' located on the bottom right of the screen.

To turn on closed captions on a desktop computer:

• While the video is playing, hover the mouse pointer anywhere over the video to display the playbar.
• Click on the 'CC icon' located on the bottom right of the screen.
• If you are viewing the videos in Vimeo, click the 'CC icon' located on the bottom right of the screen.

AIf you are in the nursing profession you will need to complete a minimum of 20 hours of professional development a year. Record the time you spend completing the modules, reading the additional references and resources, and participating in the self-reflective activities. The total time spent can be used to meet the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) registration standard on CPD.

For more information go to Guidelines: Continuing professional development

AHPRA also provide a sample template for documenting CPD.

AMedical practitioners registered with the Medical Board of Australia need to complete a minimum number of CPD hours that are relevant to your scope of practice. The number of hours required varies depending on whether you have a general or specialist registration or both. More information on the minimum requirements for CPD is available here.

AThe CPD requirements of each National Board are detailed in the Registration Standards for each profession, published on each Board website. These detail the number of credits/points/hours practitioners must spend each year on learning activities. More information is available here.
