Last month, South Western Sydney PHN held local health forums with community members, healthcare professionals, and service providers to gain insight into end-of-life care planning, including palliative care, voluntary assisted dying, and advance care planning. These forums sparked meaningful discussions and provided valuable insights to improve the quality of life for those accessing palliative care services.
Many people living in South Western Sydney do not plan for a good death, and we want to know why.
SWSPHN is looking for organisations, community groups and individuals to participate in the next phase of our palliative care and advance care planning needs assessment.
Get in touch to organise a one-on-one interview or focus group to discuss the barriers, enablers and key priorities for enhancing uptake of advance care planning. Alternatively, share your thoughts by completing our quick online survey.
Help shape advance care planning with co-design
At SWSPHN, we ensure our communities end of life wishes are understood, documented, and respected. Your support can show us how. To do this, we are using a co-design approach.
This means we work together with people like you—healthcare professionals, community groups, and service providers—to create solutions that truly meet the needs of the community. By sharing your input, you’ll help improve advance care planning services and help your patients better understand and prepare for their future healthcare needs.
The outcome of the local health forum and the co-design will be complied into a report and include recommendations to improve health outcomes in the community.
How you can contribute:
A good death means dying on your own terms, with your choices honoured and respected. We want to know what would help you engage in advance care planning, conversations about death and dying, and ensuring a dignified end-of-life experience.
Why your feedback matters
Advance care planning helps people make informed decisions about their future healthcare. By understanding the barriers, enablers and key priorities for the uptake of advance care planning, we can create better support systems. If you’re interested in helping us with co-design or want to help your clients learn more about advance care planning, we want you to get involved. Together, we can improve healthcare and help people make informed choices about their care.
