The EAPC White Paper addresses the issue of spiritual care education for all palliative care professionals. It is to guide health care professionals involved in teaching or training of palliative care <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> spiritual care; stakeholders, leaders <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> decision makers responsible for training <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> education; as well as national <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> local curricula development groups. The EAPC white paper points out the importance of spiritual care as an integral part of palliative care <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> suggests incorporating it accordingly into educational activities <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> training models in palliative care. The revised spiritual care education competencies for all palliative care providers are accompanied by the <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">best</span> practice models <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> research evidence, at the same time being sensitive towards different develop-ment stages of the palliative care services across the European region. Conclusions: Better education can help the healthcare practitioner to avoid being distracted by their own fears, prejudices, <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> restraints <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> attend to the patient <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> his/her family. This EAPC white paper encourages <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> facilitates high quality, multi-disciplinary, academically <span class="attribute-to-highlight medbox">and</span> financially accessible spiritual care education to all palliative care staff.
