AGED-CARE Minister Ken Wyatt officially launched the End of Life Directions for Aged Care project Fri, including a website that provides palliative care and advance care planning resources.
The End of Life Directions for Aged Care website was developed by a consortium of eight partners comprising three of Australia's leading universities and five peak industry bodies, funded by the Federal Government commitment of $32.8m in the 2018-19 Budget.
"The End of Life Directions for Aged Care website provides a one-stop resource for this crucial service, whether in residential aged care or at home," Wyatt said.
The consortium has also developed five toolkits that provide practical information to support people working in aged care and in primary health care, including pharmacists managing palliative care medications.
Pharmacists seeking more support for medication management and wanting to access the tool kits can visit eldac.com.au.
