EOL Essentials Project News

EDITION 39 - Oct 2019

What's New in the Project?

You asked and we listened. Our educator resources, all our videos, podcasts and other resources, are now collected in a centralised location. If you have teaching responsibilities in your workplace, or even an in-service education, come and see what you can use for free!

These can be found under the News and Resources>Video Library> Educator Resources tab.

Look at these smiling faces from Queensland. Debbie D'Urso from Townsville Hospital and Health Service has been busy educating her colleagues on safe and quality end-of-life care. Here they are proudly holding their toolkits.

My Toolkit includes action checklists and resources with links to videos, blogs, podcasts and further reading to help you maintain your knowledge about end-of-life care and facilitate discussion and engagement at work. 

We salute your ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to increasing skills, confidence and knowledge in end-of-life care.
We'd love your help!
