Abstrakt: The Professional Education Package (PEP) was introduced in Australia in 2012. It was developed by the Organ and Tissue Authority (OTA) in consultation with the DonateLife Network, peak professional bodies, and the Gift of Life Institute (GoLI) in Philadelphia. The education model adopted and implemented is a modular, sequential learning model which comprises the following units of training: Introductory Donation Awareness Training (IDAT) Workshop; Core Family Donation Conversation (FDC) Workshop; Practical FDC Workshop; and an e-learning program to support the FDC training and encourage ongoing learning. The PEP has supported a positive practice change amongst many of the health care professionals working in the Australian donation sector. It has provided health care professionals with the training and skills to support grieving families during donation conversations and more broadly during end-of-life conversations.
