Subject: [aliaHEALTH] CareSearch launched: Australia's gateway to palliativecare evidence, information and resources
CareSearch palliative care knowledge network has just been launched in Canberra today, an initiative of the Australian Government. It is endorsed by HealthInsite and accredited by HON Code. This free online resource focuses on palliative care, and is designed for health professionals, patients, families and friends. All materials in the website have been written by, and checked for quality by, Australian health professionals using a rigorous quality review process.
Please take the time to explore this resource and pass on the details to your users. Importantly, this resource is not just for those working in specialist palliative care facilities such as hospices. Palliative care is different to many other healthcare fields, because when a patient's illness progresses, their care can suddenly shift from curative to palliative. Thus a registrar in a general medical hospital ward, an outpatient physiotherapist, a nurse in a community health service, or an Aboriginal Health Worker, as just a few examples, may provide palliative care.
For further information, please contact our project office on (08) 8275 2817 or via email at [log in to unmask]
