Palliative Care Case Studies Webinar

About this Program

GPEx has partnered with SA Health to conduct a comprehensive study to evaluate the impact of its new Palliative Care Connect service on primary care. Palliative Care Connect provides vital information and links to palliative care and bereavement supports for General Practitioners, Practice Nurses, and patients, carers and family members in South Australia.

GPEx has developed our Palliative Care Education Program for GPs, GP Registrars, Nurses and other Primary Care providers working with palliative care patients. There are a range of activities within the program, designed for you to customise your experience based on your learning needs.

Although the live event has already taken place, we invite you to watch the recorded session, this insightful webinar for GPs, GP Registrars, and Practices Nurses and other Primary Care providers aims to enhance their palliative care management skills.

Throughout the webinar, you will find discussions centering on:

• Demonstrate how to identify a deteriorating patient.
• Summarise the communication strategies that can be used in palliative care cases.
• Demonstrate how to provide culturally sensitive care that respects the diverse backgrounds of patients.
• Identify support services available for palliative care patients and their families/caregivers.

This is the second webinar of a two-part series, focusing on practical advice on overcoming common barriers such as time constraints and home visit challenges. Part one is available here.
