| 101 | Palliative Care Competence Framework 2014 (Ireland) The purpose of this project was to develop a Palliative Care Competence Framework for health and social care professionals working in various health care settings. The framework is intended to provide for core competences in palliative care whilst also detailing individual competences for each health and social care discipline. It is envisioned that the framework will inform academic curricula and professional development programs, and so will enhance the care of people with a life-limiting condition, fostering greater inter-professional and inter-organizational collaboration in palliative care provision. |
| 102 | Palliative Care Core Formulary This formulary for pain and symptom management is intended as a brief and simple guide for prescribers in hospital, community and primary care. The contributors believe that the vast majority of symptoms can be effectively managed within the formulary and that its acceptance and use will enhance the quality and consistency of palliative care for patients. |
| 103 | Palliative Care for All This booklet provides an explanation of the role of palliative care for all health professionals delivering a service to people with life-limiting, non-malignant diseases in all care settings. It aims to raise awareness of the palliative care needs of people with these diseases and suggests ways in which these needs can be met. |
| 104 | Palliative Care for the Patient with Incurable Cancer or Advanced Disease Part 2: Pain and Symptom Management This guideline presents strategies for the assessment and management of cancer pain, and symptoms associated with advanced disease, in patients ≥ 19 years of age. Part 2 is divided into seven sections, providing recommendations for evidence-based symptom management with algorithms to facilitate quick access to the information required. Hyperlinked notes in the algorithm refer back to more detailed information within each symptom section. |
| 105 | Palliative Care for Women With Cervical Cancer: A Field Manual The manual focuses on recommendations for providing supportive care for women with cervical cancer, but these techniques can be applied when caring for any person with chronic pain nearing the end of life, no matter what illness or disease he or she has. |
| 106 | Palliative Care for Women With Cervical Cancer: A KENYA FIELD MANUA This field manual was developed for use in Kenya but may be reproduced or adapted to meet local needs. Women in Kenya, like in many other countries, suffer from very high rates of cervical cancer due to the lack of an adequate screening program to detect and treat precancerous lesions of the cervix. |
| 107 | Palliative care identification tools comparator This tool has been designed to help health and social care professionals identify those who would benefit from a palliative approach to their care. Earlier identification has many advantages. It can allow people to make informed choices about what medical treatments and care they would like to receive, or not receive, and to prioritise things that are important to them when length of life may be short, or when the presence of irreversible illness has altered life for that person. |
| 108 | Palliative Care in Heart Failure Rationale, Evidence, and Future Priorities Patients with heart failure (HF) and their families experience stress and suffering from a variety of sources over the course of the HF experience. Palliative care is an interdisciplinary service and an overall approach to care that improves quality of life and alleviates suffering for those living with serious illness, regardless of prognosis. In this review, we synthesize the evidence from randomized clinical trials of palliative care interventions in HF. |
| 109 | Palliative Care in the Outpatient Setting A Comparative Effectiveness Report Unlike hospice care, which is typically restricted to individuals with a prognosis of survival of six months or less, palliative care can begin at diagnosis and is often provided along with treatment aimed at prolonging life, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer. One of the primary objectives of palliative care is to help patients prioritize their goals of care, and it may include conversations around advance care planning (e.g., a living will depending the anticipated disease trajectory. |
| 110 | Palliative Care Model of Care The Palliative Care Network has developed a model of care to address the identified gaps in current service delivery, the inequity of access to palliative care services and in particular the groups of people who are not well served by the current models of palliative care. The model of care has been developed in consultation with palliative care clinicians, key stakeholders and consumers and builds on the recommendations of The Palliative Care in Western Australia, Final Report December 2005 |
