WEBINAR: Healthy End of Life Planning (HELP) App for the Palliative Care Workforce

Thu 25th July 2024 @ 1:30 pm

Palliative Care services are essential for delivering the best care for people at end of life but we can’t do it all. We need to encourage our clients and their families to have a system in place to access additional support from their friends and community.

The Healthy End of Life Planning (HELP) App is a free resource designed to coordinate this support for people in palliative and aged care settings.

DATE:
Thu 25th July 2024


TIME:
1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

She now works at the Public Health Palliative Care Unit at La Trobe University where they have been researching how to best support people to die well in their place of choice. This has culminated in the development of a palliative care social prescribing model and the HELP App which is improving end of life experiences for people around Australia.
