The aim of this project is to implement and evaluate a comprehensive evidence based strategy to address the palliative care needs of people residing in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs).

 The objectives of the CEBPARAC project are to:

•  Translate existing evidence based guidelines (palliative care and pain management) into policy and practice (including documentation).
• Provide education to all nursing and care staff at all levels working in the RACFs using existing training materials.
• Establish, train and support link nurses in each RACF.
• Promote the use of existing GP on-line training modules to support GPs in providing a palliative approach to residents in their care.
• Implement the BSPCC End-of-life Care Pathway for residents requiring terminal care.
• Develop a palliative care case conferencing learning resource (DVD and hard copy) for residents and family members, nursing staff and GPs.
• Develop from existing training modules a self-directed learning module for Link nurses.
