2025 Educators' Muster - End-of-life care skills

PallConsult recognizes the vital role of Queensland Health (QH) HHS clinical educators, facilitators, QAS and Specialist Palliative Care services in supporting skills development for frontline clinicians to provide quality palliative care at end of life.

To support this role, PallConsult is holding two Educator Muster events in June 2025.

The Educators' Muster is a two-day education event for clinicians who undertake educator and clinical facilitator roles for their work areas that support patients in the last 12 months of life. The aim of the Muster is to foster collaboration, share strategies and facilitate effective mentoring of frontline nursing, QAS and allied health clinicians across community, aged care and acute care settings.

The Muster program is designed around sharing train-the-trainer principles, ensuring that educators gain the knowledge and confidence to cascade training within their local services.

Muster dates and locations

  • Hervey Bay: 4 and 5 June 2025 (registration cut-off is Monday 19 May)
  • Cairns: 18 and 19 June 2025 (registration cut-off is Monday 2 June)

Schedule

  • Day 1: 10:30am to 4:30pm
  • Day 2: 8:00am to 3:00pm
