The PaCE app provides the right resources, for the right people, with the right approach to develop the right palliative care capabilities.
PaCE is a resource directory for educators and health and aged care providers in the form of a mobile-responsive web-based app. PaCE helps you find learning and teaching resources that support the development of specific palliative care capabilities for a variety of professions and practice contexts. The directory includes information about learning approaches and modes of delivery for each resource. PaCE is free to use, and all learning resources are free to access.
So why should you use the PaCE App?
Comprehensive resources
The directory houses almost 200 resources that National Palliative Care Projects have developed. The selected resources are high quality and well-developed. You can see a resource, its learning outcomes, duration, certifications, capabilities, filters, and keyword tags in one place. The resource is then one click away.
Searchable content
Every resource has been reviewed and richly attributed with tags and keywords to improve the accuracy of your search result.
Dynamic filter functions
You have the option to refine your search to resources only relevant to you using filters. You can select specific capabilities, a target healthcare provider audience, types of education or learning approach and modes of delivery.
Easy navigation
Navigation prompts to support your search journey.
Save and share search results
Registered users can save results for future reference and share resource links.
Multimodal interface
Accessible on all devices, including smartphones, tablets and desktops.
The app has been developed and will be maintained by the Palliative Care Education and Training Collaborative at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). PaCE will support the activation of a whole-of-workforce approach to building the capacity of the health workforce to provide quality palliative care to all Australians.
Development of the PaCE directory app has been achieved through collaboration with National Palliative Care Project partners. A full list of project partners is available on the partner’s page of the PaCE website. PaCE is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and delivered by QUT.
PaCE is live now and available for you to access via the website: https://pace.org.au/ To assist users in understanding how to use the PaCE app, we have developed a short instructional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnk6sUfLrFU) which is available on the website. We hope you enjoy using this resource and find it a great support for your learning, teaching and clinical practice in palliative care.
