CareSearch updates

We are updating the learning materials created by CareSearch. The refreshed My Learning modules will continue to cover critical topics that show you how to use evidence in your care and practice. This project not only ensure the currency and relevance of the content but has enabled us create learning modules on a new platform that create a more engaging environment for learners. We are pleased to release the first three of the refreshed and updated Learning modules.

• New to palliative care?
• Carers
• Finding clinical guidance

A fourth module, Allied Health, will be released in early December. The remaining modules will be added in early 2026.

CareSearch has developed a GP Kit that is designed to support care planning, assessment and communication for patients coming to the end of their life and their families. GPs can find this a demanding but needed area of their practice. The information kit provides practical tool and resources to assist them in providing compassionate and comprehensive care as well. The Kit also highlights practical resources they can share with their patients and their carers. GPs can order a printed version of the Kit or download the resources from the CareSearch GP Kit page within the GP Hub

We’re delighted to update our children’s booklist we developed as part of Dying2Learn. We now have two lists. One looks at International Award-Winning Children’s Books and Resources on Death and Dying (1.06MB pdf) while the other focuses on Australian Children’s Books on Death and Dying (2.47MB pdf). A great way to help children understand or start a conversation about life, death, grief and loss.
