On Friday 2 August, National Palliative Care Project, caring@home, launched new resources to support the provision of quality end-of-life care for people who choose to be cared for at home.
The Community Palliative Care Resources Box contains a suite of evidence-based, nationally-consistent resources that can be used by health professionals to teach carers who are supporting a dying person at home including information about providing practical care, managing physical symptoms, understanding infusion devices and managing subcutaneous medicines.
The Resources Box is designed to be stored centrally and contains resources that can be used with several patients and families.
caring@home resources are free of charge and are applicable Australia-wide for clinical services, health professionals, and families and carers.
More information and order details are available on the caring@home website.
