Palliative care helps people with life-limiting illnesses to live as well as possible, for as long as possible. These resources can help support both end-of-life patients and carers.
Gold Coast Primary Health Network – Planning Your Future Care Today Booklet and Online Resource, is an easy-to-understand, step-by-step guide to advance care planning.
End of Life Care Directions for Aged Care (ELDAC) have developed an online resource that contains tips for self-care. Self-care is important for everyone, particularly for those providing end of life care.
End of Life Care Directions for Aged Care (ELDAC) toolkits contain relevant tools and resources for individuals, services and facilities working with end-of-life patients. This includes End-of-Life tool kits and the Working Together Toolkit which provides useful information for all health professionals working in the aged care sector.
To provide quality, culturally responsive care for people affected by life-limiting illness, health professionals need to be able to identify and respond effectively to individual needs. This Focus Topic Toolkit: Caring for Australian Indigenous peoples affected by life-limiting illness will help students to develop the skills needed to provide quality care, across various settings, to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people with life-limiting illness, and their families and communities.
Language is often a barrier to understanding health care information and accessing palliative care services. 11.2% of Queenslanders speak at least one of more than 180 overseas languages other than English at home. PalAssist has created an Easy English version of a palliative care factsheet which has then been translated into Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean with the assistance from Language Loop, and community consultation facilitated by the Ethnic Communities Council of Queensland (ECCQ).
Gold Coast HealthPathways is a web-based platform offering clinicians locally agreed information to make the right decisions, together with patients, at the point of care. The Palliative Care HealthPathways aim to improve service navigation, evidence-based care, care coordination and referral pathways and can be used to access palliative care services for the Gold Coast region.
