Everyone who works in primary care and aged care has an important role to play in providing high-quality palliative care. There are key palliative care skills and competencies that are common to everyone working in aged care. However, care providers can have different roles and responsibilities.
In these pages we have brought together relevant palliative care resources from within ELDAC and from other national programs for the different groups who support older people in aged care. The resources can help you increase your knowledge, skills and confidence in palliative care and ability to communicate with older people and their families.
