Palliative and End -of-Life Care: Caring with Confidence 

Both terms 'palliative care' and 'end of life care', focus is on enhancing quality of life, prioritising comfort and ensuring dignity for those facing life limiting illnesses.  This approach shifts the focus from inevitable death to a focus on how one wants to live fully and meaningful and have confidence in their personal choices. The key question becomes, "how do you want to live"? this framework empowers the individual to define what matters most, whether it's spending time with loved ones, pursuing cherished activities or finding solace.

• Caring with confidence in essence is about building trust with compassionate caregivers, creating individualised care plans and honouring the individual's autonomy 
• Palliative care provides holistic support, addressing physical, emotional and social and spiritual needs. The emphasis of pain and symptom management is a form of care that is delivered alongside curative treatments and is a forever evolving as priorities change.
• End of Life care is one component of palliative care, and assists the individual navigate their final stages with dignity and empathy.

The Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) Vascular Access Program is a selection of courses aiming to provide the fundamental skills and knowledge of vascular access topics. These currently include; Venepuncture, Peripheral Intravenous Catheter & Totally Implanted Vascular Access Device.

Aim: The intention of this course is to improve the knowledge and practice gap between guideline recommendations and current practice, in order to reduce the rates of complications and patient harm.

Intended Audience: CALHN Nursing Staff requiring accreditation in one or more of the Vascular Access Specialty Courses.
