Description

A meeting was held of the team working on the WUN project on Supporting Undergraduate Palliative Care Education Needs in Kimberley, South Africa from the 4^th-6^th October 2023. The project aims to generate an understanding of undergraduate palliative care nursing education in South Africa, Uganda, Ghana, New Zealand, Canada and the UK, to identify areas for reciprocal learning and education/shared learning priorities between these countries, and to develop an international network of palliative care nursing researchers and educators to improve palliative care nursing education. A lack of palliative care training for nurses, who account for nearly 50% of the global healthcare workforce, has been identified as a barrier to patient access to palliative care services internationally.
