Introduction
Palliative care research suggests: the need for it is rising, access to and use of palliative care is limited among people of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people of low socioeconomic status, and people living in rural areas; and limited access to palliative care can have personal, social, and economic implications. Implementing models of palliative care that are suitable for these underserved populations are therefore needed.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of this workshop is to co-design models of palliative care for underserved populations. This will be achieved by:
The aim of this workshop is to co-design models of palliative care for underserved populations. This will be achieved by:
- Sharing what is known about: the rising need for palliative care in Australia; the associated implications; and current models of palliative care for underserved populations
- Critical dialogue about models of palliative care for: people of culturally and linguistically diverse communities; people of low socioeconomic status; and people living in rural areas
- Synthesise participant contributions to clarify the key ingredients of models of palliative care for underserved populations
Key Learning Outcomes
Following this workshop, participants are expected to:
- Appreciate the rising need for palliative care in Australia
- Understand factors that help and hinder access to and use of palliative care among underserved populations
- Recognise current models of palliative care for underserved populations
- Contribute to discussions about the key ingredients of models of palliative care for underserved populations
Proposed Methodology
The facilitators will:
- Share what is known about: the rising need for palliative care in Australia; its implications; and current models of palliative care for underserved populations
Using a World café approach, participants will discuss:
- Their experiences with and perceptions of models of palliative care for underserved populations
