Be part of the first-ever Assisi Hospice Education and Research Festival, where we tackle the unique opportunities and challenges of integrating education and research within community healthcare. Focused on palliative care, this event will provide an exclusive platform to explore the implementation of
Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs)
in nursing — an innovative framework designed to clarify competencies, enhance supervision, and elevate clinical training in hospice settings.
Drawing from Assisi Hospice’s 5-year journey, our experts will share practical strategies for advancing research in community care. The session will highlight the pivotal role of research in improving service delivery, staff development, and the overall quality of care in palliative settings.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, expand your professional network, and contribute to the future of palliative care education and research!
