Knowledge framework for care at the end-of-life for people with disability: Consultation session

Thank you for your interest.

Background

Brisbane North PHN is currently implementing an action plan to improve access to at-home palliative care for people living with disability. One action within this plan is to create a knowledge framework for the care at the end of life for people with disability.

During consultations in 2022, a lack of knowledge and understanding of disability, palliative care, and NDIS system across all sectors involved in care at the end-of-life for people with disability was found. There is currently no single point of reference to guide training and education across all sectors.

Framework Development

A working group has formed to develop an end-of-life knowledge framework. The target audience for this framework includes workers from disability services, generalist health professionals, and specialist palliative care providers.  In addition to mapping the base common knowledge, the framework seeks to guide users to existing education and training opportunities and resources.

Consultation Sessions 

The working group are holding a consultation session for NDS members at 10-11am on Monday 14 August . The session will be held online via Microsoft teams. Once registered a draft of the framework and questions will be shared with the event calendar invite.
