Funded Activity Summary

This study will compare the experiences of patients referred for a palliative care consultation who have a face - to - face consultation with a palliative care physician (PCP) in Dubbo versus those whose consultation is achieved via telemedicine with a PCP in Sydney but in the presence of a palliative care nurse in Dubbo. Immediately following the consultations and one week later, a research nurse will interview the patient and their care giver, and the palliative care nurse in attendance and the interview will be audio-recorded for subsequent detailed analysis. It is proposed to conduct 30 consultations in this study, and the results will inform the further development of a telemedicine palliative care consultative service.
