The End-of-Life Care Coordination in Primary Care Pilot Program has been developed in response to needs identified in the PHN’s Palliative Care Needs Assessment.

The Greater Choice for at Home Palliative Care measure (GCfAHPC) provides funding for coordinating palliative care through PHNs. As being cared for and dying at home is most people’s preference, the initiative aims to help make that possible. A recent Palliative Care Needs Assessment identified the need for an End of Life Coordinator, a role that will be commissioned in a pilot program in the Hunter region.

2023 marks the eleventh year of the Dying to Know Day campaign, and is an initiative of The GroundSwell Project

Our PHN is offering ten people the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in the important area of grief and loss.
