CareSearch updates

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.

Copies of the CareSearch presentations made by members of team have now been loaded to the CareSearch presentations page.

You can view the following presentations that were made:

Thank you

The CareSearch project is supported by a talented and hardworking team of academics and professional staff.

Having decided to take up an opportunity in medical Education, Dr Raechel Damarell is leaving her role as the Senior Research Fellow for the CareSearch and palliAGED team. We thank her for her significant achievements in our projects in particular delivering the palliAGED Evidence Centre and the Improving Care content.

Dr Madeleine Juhrmann has also taken up a new position and finished her time as a CareSearch project Research Fellow.

Welcome

Making sure we still have great talent in the project team, we would like to welcome the following new team members:

• Dr Seth Nicholls who has taken up the Research Fellow role supporting CareSearch and palliAGED.  

• Dr Angela Rong Yang Zhang has also joined the research team helping us analyse data and prepare some new resources.  

• We also welcome Becky Kwok who joined us as the new Marketing Officer on 13 August.

With these changes, Professor Jennifer Tieman has taken over the leadership of the CareSearch and palliAGED project team and looks forwarding to meeting with the sector at the Oceanic and Ageing Australia Conferences.
