Li-Ve Tasmania is pleased to present Communicating for end of life – a toolkit. This evidence-based resource is designed to link disability support providers, healthcare providers and services, families and carers. It contains a set of practical tools to build capacity and capability around decision-making, accountability, communication, documentation and coordination at the end of life.
Primary Times is APNA's semi-annual publication for primary health care nurses and key stakeholders. Please find the guidelines outlining article submission requirements here
Primary health care nurses have a significant and growing role in delivering end-of-life care1 in general practice, aged care, community health and other settings. Their clinical role at the end of life is multifaceted, and can include providing medical and personal care; recognising and responding to deterioration; involvement in clinical decision-making; and care coordination.
The Victorian Infection Prevention Helpline is here to help clinicians and other staff working in primary health-care settings (e.g., general practice, community pharmacies and community-controlled Aboriginal health services) to navigate and provide support for both broad and narrow questions around infection prevention and control.
The importance of scheduled vaccines and catch-up programs. In this segment, you will learn why scheduled vaccinations and catch-up programs are so important, especially in the aftermath of a global pandemic
During COVID-19, nurses have observed that some patients are reluctant to attend clinics to receive scheduled immunisations. We explore the risks associated with children missing their early childhood vaccinations.
Nurses know the NIP funded vaccines inside-out, but how often do you speak to your patients about the recommended vaccines, but not funded ones? We discuss how to raise this sometimes-tricky conversation and share the reasoning behind recommended vs funded vaccines.
