Palliative care is an integral part of the care provided by GPs and other primary health care providers, and as Australia's population ages and the palliative care needs of patients with end stage organ failure are recognised, this area of care is likely to increase. Using a knowledge translation framework, two strategies have been used to develop resources to support those providing palliative care in the community. PubMed searches on a range of common palliative care topics and incorporating a palliative care filter provide an easy and validated mechanism to retrieve relevant literature. A 'GP Hub' offers knowledge, skills and practical advice for GPs who provide palliative care in the community. Both resources are freely available within the CareSearch website, ensuring immediate access to palliative care information and evidence when it is needed.
姑息治疗是全科医生和其他初级卫生保健提供者所提供护理的一个组成部分。随着澳大利亚人口老龄化以及晚期器官衰竭患者的姑息治疗需求得到认可，这一护理领域可能会扩大。利用知识转化框架，已采用两种策略来开发资源，以支持社区中提供姑息治疗的人员。在一系列常见姑息治疗主题上进行PubMed搜索并纳入姑息治疗筛选器，提供了一种简便且经过验证的机制来检索相关文献。“全科医生中心”为在社区提供姑息治疗的全科医生提供知识、技能和实用建议。这两种资源均可在CareSearch网站上免费获取，确保在需要时能立即获取姑息治疗信息和证据。
