Our new CareSearch Portal is coming together quickly. When completed, the portal will be home to a Community Centre, a Centre for Health Professionals, and an Evidence and Translation Centre. 

For stage 1, the CareSearchCommunity will be launched in August 2021. This Centre will house new resources for the community as well as our familiar and trusted information for patients and families.

During Stage 2, we will update and bring across the remaining CareSearch resources - our Health Professional Centre, and the Education and Evidence resources. They will be released as part of the new site in October 2021.

We will then move to finalise Stage 3, an expanded Evidence and Translation Centre updating and redefining our current Finding Evidence and Clinical Evidence resources. This will be released in early 2022.

So, in August, you will have your first experience of the new portal with the release of CareSearchCommunity. From August to October 2021, our content will be on two sites - CareSearchCommunity and the existing CareSearch site, which will continue to provide you with access to our Health Professional, Evidence, and Education resources. We will be providing hyperlinks between the two sites to ensure you move seamlessly between the two sets of resources. But if you do have any trouble accessing or finding resources, please let us know and we will help you locate them.

To mark the launch of CareSearchCommunity, an online event will be held on the 3rd of August 2021 at 10:30 AM ACST. You will be able to find out more about the resources and the way we have developed our content. We invite you to come and share the excitement. Email us at caresearch@flinders.edu.au for more registration details.

Sometimes people can deteriorate suddenly. In this case anticipatory medicines may not have been arranged. CareSearch has developed a PBS prescriber's bag list (155kb pdf) which includes a number of medications that can be used to relieve symptoms in this situation. You can find this  handy resource and other information on end of life prescribing in the page of End Of Life Symptoms in the GP Hub.
