SWSPHN’s Peace of Mind Project is working to improve the end-of-life journey for people with dementia.
As GPs play a fundamental role in the care of people with dementia from diagnosis to palliative and end-of-life care, we would like to support our region’s GPs in the most appropriate forms.
To achieve this, we are undertaking a needs assessment and co-design of solutions in collaboration with South Western Sydney Local Health District’s Palliative Care Service.
The first step in the process is a survey to find out how GPs are providing palliative care to patients, barriers they encounter to delivering palliative care, and the support they need.
The survey is available from now until 30 April 2022 on our HealthChat platform.
The survey findings will be used to inform discussions and the co-design of practical solutions at forums with GPs early in the second half of 2022.
We thank you for your interest and we hope to see you at one of our co-design forums.
