"We reviewed grounded theories and qualitative studies exploring the nurse’s role in curative to palliative transitions in advanced cancer care.”

When someone with advanced cancer transitions to palliative care, nurses take on both visible and invisible roles ❤️.

In this latest blog, Geya George, Prof. Davina Porock and Prof. Deborah Kirk, School of Nursing and Midwifery - Edith Cowan University, explore nurse’s vital contributions through the lens of ‘Orchestrating Transitions’, a mid-range nursing theory developed from research in advanced cancer care. Using the Boab tree 🌳 as a metaphor, it highlights the strength and depth of nursing practice during this pivotal time.

Today is International Self-Care Day 💖. A day where we recognise the importance of self-care and its benefits for both individuals and healthcare systems.

Providing palliative care can be challenging, especially when dealing with clinical uncertainty, time pressures, or complex diagnoses.

Planning and practising effective self-care strategies can help you continue to offer compassionate care and support others, both personally and professionally.

Dr Mark Boughey shares a moving reflection on the strengths and challenges in delivering palliative care in rural communities. While local teams deliver compassionate, high quality care, many families still face fragmented systems, delays, and uncertainty—especially during the most vulnerable moments.

It’s a reminder that we need to keep pushing for better coordination, faster access to expert advice, and stronger support for carers and providers in regional communities.

“Digital health transcends technology, significantly improving the value provided by health and care services.”

💻 How can digital health improve care?

In this blog, Pamela Everingham and Paul Tait from the South Australian Virtual Care Service, discuss how aligning digital health strategies with value-based care can improve quality, access, and outcomes, particularly in palliative care settings.

By supporting care closer to home and involving families more meaningfully, digital health is reshaping how care is experienced 👏.
