Developing capabilities in speech pathology practice with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. How can I use a palliative care education toolkit?
2:00 PM - 4:00 PMPresentation summary
Background and context:
The PCC4U Toolkit: Caring for Australian Indigenous peoples affected by life-limiting illness is a free teaching resource for university academics. It supports entry-to-practice health professional students to develop capabilities needed to provide quality care for Australian Indigenous peoples with life-limiting illness, their families, and communities. Strengths-based learning approaches incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. Learning outcomes have been mapped to key strategic and professional frameworks and reflect alignment to key areas in the SPA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Accreditation Guidelines.
Learning outcomes:
• Engage with a learning resource to support development of cultural-responsiveness for SP students in providing care for Australian Indigenous peoples
• Understand the development approach, including stakeholder engagement, and links to key aspects of curriculum development relevant for SP programs
• Explore learning approaches to support SP students in critical self-reflection, to develop capabilities in providing culturally-safe palliative care.
Assumed knowledge or experience:
Providing education for SP students.
Outline of activities:
• Overview of PCC4U project and Toolkit
• Self-reflection activities to explore cultural backgrounds and biases
• Individual and group engagement in case-based learning through diverse narratives
• Active exploration of implementation considerations.
Implications for practice:
This toolkit promotes inclusive, culturally-respectful practice, challenging students to recognise the important role they play in breaking down the access barriers to mainstream healthcare, in particular palliative care, experienced by Australian Indigenous peoples. Using this resource in SP education will support development of critical thinking, critical action and critical being in this context.
Keywords – Indigenous, culturally-responsive, palliative care, teaching
Submission Statement: This workshop will challenge participants to reflect on personal, organisational, and systemic biases which contribute to barriers preventing Australian Indigenous people from accessing culturally-safe palliative care. Experience an education toolkit which promotes inclusive and culturally-respectful healthcare, challenging students to respond to needs in a healing-informed and trauma-aware way.
