CareSearch, an Australian Government-funded palliative care project, has released the CareSearchgp app.
This free digital tool brings together evidence-based research and resources to support GPs in delivering quality palliative care.
Coverage includes terminal prescribing guidance for specific symptoms and advice on key care issues including:
- advance care planning
- recognising deterioration
- case conferences
- assisting families through stages of bereavement.
Interactive features include a checklist to support dying at home and the ability to curate your own learning resources and send links to quality information to individual patients.
