Palliative and end-of-life care for LGBTIQ+ people

The Commonwealth Department of Health funded LGBTIQ+ Health Australia to undertake a three-year national project on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in palliative care.
This scoping review was conducted to understand the experiences of LGBTIQ+ people who have accessed palliative and end-of-life care services. It explores the barriers preventing access to inclusive care and the factors facilitating safe, appropriate and timely palliative care in Australia and internationally. This research provides an overview of current approaches supporting healthcare professionals to increase their knowledge and confidence in delivering inclusive care.
The report includes empirical research studies and grey literature from the past five years.
