Six years of Project ECHO: Implementation and evaluation of a hospice-led multiprofessional education programme
<b>Objectives:</b> This article reports on the implementation and evaluation of an established technology-enabled collaborative learning programme (Project ECHO) at an independent UK hospice in the North of England over a 6-year period. <b>Methods:</b> An independent audit of collated, anonymised data from the programme is used to report attendance patterns and session evaluations. <b>Results:</b> The results show a gradual increase in attendances, programmes, sessions and hours of education, coupled with consistently positive evaluation reports. <b>Conclusion:</b> This supports existing evidence that Project ECHO is an effective method of delivering remote healthcare education, demonstrating impact on the first three levels of Moore's education framework; participation, satisfaction and learning. Future expansion in terms of geography and topics covered is proposed, alongside enhanced evaluation methods to demonstrate impact at the higher levels of Moore's framework.
