Abstract
Multidisciplinary teamwork is an essential part of palliative care. Traditionally, in the UK, education of health care professionals has been carried out within single professional disciplines. The Palliative Care Education Group (PEGG) for Gloucestershire, a county in the south‐west region of England, UK, is a multidisciplinary group, which promotes and integrates palliative care education across the county. This report describes the evolution of the group, its aims and objectives and the methods used to evaluate its impact on clinical practice. PEGG is a practical model of multidisciplinary education, which could be adopted in other areas.Keywords
