Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (The PHN) are proud to partner with HammondCare to offer the Last Days Program to community members across our region.Carers of those with a life limiting illness may often feel uncertain and overwhelmed when supporting someone to navigate their palliative care journey and final days of life. The PHN aims to assist in bridging this knowledge gap with the goal to support choice for more people to be cared for and die at home, if that is their preference.
HammondCare has developed the Last Days community program to help carers understand what to expect, bust myths and provide practical resources when caring for a person who is facing the end of their life.
Delivered by a palliative specialist, the three (3) hour face-to-face workshop equips participants with knowledge and tools to navigate the last days, including links to local palliative care support services and a comprehensive resource to refer to throughout this journey.
What’s included in the workshop:
- What to expect and the role of palliative care
- What a “good death” might look like, and the choices we have
- How to have conversations about dying and plan for what’s ahead
- Practical information to assist with getting affairs in order
- Possible care choices and support available as we near death
- How grief and loss can impact individuals and support available
- Common rituals, rules and regulations around death.
- A light morning tea will be provided.
