This project will examine the impact of the End-of-Life Essentials for Acute Hospitals national workforce development initiative on clinical practice in acute care settings. The research will explore how healthcare professionals engage with online learning and how education influences knowledge, confidence, behaviours, and practice change. It will also identify factors affecting translation of learning into practice and help inform future workforce development initiatives.
