PALLIATIVE CARE TRAINING
The Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association have re-launched the Palliative Care Online Training Portal, funded by the Australian Government.
The Portal provides free, non-clinical, interactive training to carers, community & aged care workers, students, volunteers, family members and clinicians who want to build their skills if they are caring for someone with a life-limiting illness.
To date this training has been delivered to over 35,000 people and covers topics such as:
-
the needs of people and their families as they approach end-of-life;
-
assessment skills;
-
end-of-life conversations;
-
self-care and building resilience;
-
pain management;
-
and recognising deteriorating patients.
The Palliative Care Online Training Portal is available at www.pallcaretraining.com.au
Registration is free and there are no time restrictions for completion of the modules.
