MASS PCEP First Nations Consumer Resources Project

[From MASS PCEP]

The Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS) has partnered with the First Nations Health Office to review and develop consumer resources for the Palliative Care Equipment Program (PCEP). We are now seeking feedback from prescribers and consumers to further edit and finalise the resources.

Resources include handouts about: MASS PCEP and Continence Aids, Daily Living and Mobility Aids, Home Oxygen, Syringe Drivers (pumps). The documents have been drafted with input from several external stakeholders.

Each document has been developed in line with the governing MSH procedure - PR2023-342 Metro South Health Delivering Health Literate Services. The documents are written in the Easy English (low literacy, English as a second language) and Plain English (grade 7-9 reading level) writing styles.

The team are now seeking feedback from prescribers and consumers to further edit and finalise the resources.

Feedback to be provided by 30 April 2026.
