CareSearch updates

Of the 470 deaths each day in Australia many are expected. If people who could benefit from palliative care are to have access, then we need to understand that we all have a part to play. This means support and trustworthy information on what to expect and what to do is needed – for everyone. Our latest In-Focus looks at how CareSearch helps patients and families to find information and resources that are relevant to their needs.

Demand for palliative care in the acute care setting is significant and is projected to increase steeply in coming years.
For many health professionals palliative care was not included in their training but to meet demand they will need skills, knowledge, and capability to respond. In our latest In-Focus we look at the evidence and what is expected of clinicians and how CareSearch’s new Acute Care section can support health professionals to provide palliative care across the hospital.
