The Australian Government-funded National Palliative Care project, CareSearch, has launched the CareSearchgp app, a digital tool providing GPs with terminal prescribing guidance and evidence-based information to support quality care at the end of life.
It includes information about:
- advance care planning
- recognising deterioration
- engaging in palliative care case conferences
- caring for the dying patient, and
- assisting families through stages of bereavement
The CareSearchgp app replaces and updates palliAGEDgp app which is being used by more than 5,000 GPs.
From 1 June, palliAGEDgp app will no longer be supported.
