CareSearch updates

As part of the CareSearch Portal Project we are updating the My Learning Modules. This week we have added My Learning: Aged Care to the list of currently available modules.

In response to community feedback, CareSearch has expanded the new Community Centre Diversity hub to include a Resources in your language page with trustworthy information relevant to end of life care in more than 50 languages. Covering advance care planning, palliative care, support services, and chronic life-limiting conditions we hope that this resource helps to move the conversation from identifying barriers to taking action to address them. If you, your clients, or your community could benefit from information in a language other than English then visit the Resources in your language page to see what is available.  The collection will be continuously updated and we invite you to contact us at caresearch@flinders.edu.au if there are other resources we should consider for inclusion.

As part of the CareSearch Portal Project we are updating the My Learning Modules about finding and using evidence in practice. This week we have added My Learning: Searching for Evidence and My Learning: Using online information to the list of currently available modules.

As part of the CareSearch Portal Project we are updating the My Learning Modules about finding and using evidence in practice. Today we have added My Learning: Finding Clinical Guidance to the list of currently available modules and will continue to add other titles across the month of November.

The National COVID-19 Bereavement Project, funded by the Medical Research Future Fund is looking at the mental health outcomes and service needs of over 2,000 Australians bereaved from any cause during 2020. If you are willing to participate,  the study involves a 30-minute anonymous online survey that asks about your experience of bereavement, the kind of support (if any) you have received and wanted, what has been most helpful and least helpful for you, and any other comments you would like to make.
