| 21 | Palliative and End-of-Life Care Toolkit An online teaching and learning resource to support undergraduate nursing education programs in Canada. This toolkit is a collection of online resources to assist nursing faculty members in integrating palliative and end-of-life care (PEOLC) content in their courses. Resources contained in this toolkit include: Search strategies for databases, Journal websites for searching, Professional associations and descriptions of their resources, Strategies for searching the World Wide Web and current online resources, Search strategies for finding textbooks, video clips, and other teaching tools. |
| 22 | Palliative Care A Workbook for Carers This workbook was prepared under the leadership and guidance of WHO Collaborating Centre for Community Participation in Palliative Care and Long Term Care. Palliative Care A Workbook for Carers has been developed through a series of workshops, drawing on the experience of Institute of Palliative Medicine (IPM) in community-based palliative care activities that offer structured 16-hour training for carers in the community in line with the WHO guidelines in the area of community-based palliative care. This will hopefully serve as a useful resource to training programmes for family carers and community volunteers |
| 23 | Palliative Care Action Plan (New Zealand) This action plan supports the findings, priorities and actions of the Review of Adult Palliative Care Services in New Zealand (Ministry of Health 2017).This plan signals how people nearing the end of their life and their significant others will get respectful care, as well as the support they need to be actively involved in their own care. |
| 24 | Palliative Care and the Global Goal for Health This report has been produced by the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC), the International Children's Palliative Care Network (ICPCN), and the Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA) for global and national policy makers, development NGOs, funders, palliative care organisations and advocates. The aim of the report is to show how the Global Goal for Health and accompanying targets could support a focus on improving palliative care for people with life-threatening and life-limiting illness globally and to make recommendations for inclusion of palliative care within the Global Goal for Health. |
| 25 | Palliative Care at the End of Life (Ontario) Ontario, like many other jurisdictions, is in the process of determining the best ways and locations to provide care for people who are at the end of their life. This report looks at care in the last month of life for patients in Ontario, an important timeframe within the broader scope of palliative care, since currently nearly half (47.9%) of those patients began to receive palliative care during this last month. This is typically the time when people who are dying need the most involved care, and the weeks that will shape their experiences and those of their loved ones. |
| 26 | 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. |
| 27 | 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. |
| 28 | 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. |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | Palliative Care Pocketbook 4 This is a guide to the management of adult palliative care patients; it supersedes previous versions of the Palliative Care Pocketbook. The choice of medicine and dosage remains the responsibility of the prescribing clinician. The dosage required by a patient will depend on a number of factors (e.g. age, weight, frailty, renal function) and these will need to be taken into account for each clinical situation. |
