Palliative and EOL care – a blueprint for improvement

NSW Health and Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) have developed a web resource to support services providing end of life and palliative care in NSW through sharing of useful resources, tools and information for health care delivery.

“A Blueprint for Improvement” was informed by research-based evidence and developed through consultation with more than 1200 clinicians, service managers, researchers, consumers, their families and carers. The Blueprint can be implemented across all settings of care – acute, subacute, aged and community, spanning across pubic, private, not-for-profit and community sectors.

This online resource aims to guide services and Local Health Districts in constructing their own, localised models of care. It emphasises that everyone can have a role to play in supporting or providing care to people approaching and reaching the end of life.
