Welcome to palliAGEDnurse. This app aims to help nurses in general practice, community settings and residential aged care to provide a palliative approach to care for older people in the last twelve months of life.
The Palliative Approach Framework describes three key care processes that nurses can use when managing care of an older person in the palliative phase:
- Advance Care Planning
- Palliative Care Case Conference
- Terminal Care Planning
Content of Information
This app is designed to support nursing practice. The extent of a nurse’s scope of practice is determined by the individual’s education, training and competence. The extent of an individual’s scope of practice is then authorised in the practice setting by the employer’s organisational policies and requirements.
The palliAGEDnurse app is part of the palliAGED project and managed by Flinders University. We acknowledge the earlier work of the PA Toolkit and the Decision Assist project. palliAGED is funded by the Department of Health and Aged Care.
