The feedback was taken from all 57 participants (29 doctors and 28 nurses) of CTC 5 programme representing 14 hospitals across nine regions in India. The assessment tools included Likert scale ratings and free-text comments. 3-point and 5-point Likert scale ratings were used to gauge the usefulness of course topics, quality of content and delivery. A mixed methods approach was used for a comprehensive evaluation by taking both quantitative measures of participant inputs and qualitative insights into their experiences and suggestions. The knowledge gained by the participants was analysed using pre-training and post-training assessments. Results The feedback obtained from the participants highlighted both strengths and scope for improvement. The foundation course received positive feedback for its sessions, especially on communication skills and pain management. The refresher course received positive feedback for team presentations but lacked sufficient case discussions. The interactive nature of sessions was well-received. Following the CTC 5 programme, participants showed a 30.38% knowledge gain. Overall, the programme exceeded expectations for 62% of participants, highlighting its impact on personal development and clinical practices in palliative care.  \n\n| WHAT WAS ALREADY KNOWN? |\n| --- |\n| ⇒ The goal of the palliative care cancer treatment centres (CTC) programme is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge needed to establish or improve palliative care services at their hospital, which can ultimately upgrade patient care.\u003Cbr>WHAT ARE THE NEW FINDINGS? |\n| ⇒ The feedback from participants indicates that the curriculum and education method of the CTC 5 programme were wellreceived, providing them with valuable knowledge and training in various aspects of palliative care.\u003Cbr>WHAT IS THEIR SIGNIFICANCE? |\n| ⇒ Clinical: The study highlights the importance of interactive and case-based training programmes, such as the CTC, in enhancing healthcare professionals’knowledge and skills. Such programmes have the potential to improve patient care by equipping professionals to fulfil the palliative care needs of the patients more effectively.\u003Cbr>⇒ Research: The feedback obtained from the CTC 5 programme participants highlighted both strengths and scope for improvement. This study offers preliminary evidence of the CTC 5 curriculum’s effectiveness, encouraging the adoption of similar educational programmes. |\n\nConclusion The study provides useful  \ninsights for designing future palliative care educa","cbCaimCtoxOcNU5W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimCtoxOcNU5W","pdf",1080652,"English","# Abstract\n## Objectives\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Background\n## Global access to palliative care\n## India-specific needs and challenges\n## Barriers to education programmes\n## Rationale for the CTC approach","[{\"question\":\"What is the main objective of the CTC 5 blended learning educational programme study?\",\"answer\":\"To evaluate the fifth cohort of the CTC palliative care educational programme in India and refine the course using participant feedback, with the goal of improving palliative care services at cancer centres.\"},{\"question\":\"What did participants complete in the programme?\",\"answer\":\"Participants took the CTC 5 teaching and training programme, including a foundation course, refresher course, access to palliative care training modules, clinical training, and mentorship by palliative care experts.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participant experiences and knowledge assessed?\",\"answer\":\"The study used Likert scale ratings and free-text comments to assess usefulness, content quality, and delivery.
