Nurse-led advance care planning and palliative care in primary healthcare: a qualitative study. The findings of a qualitative study evaluating nurses experiences of participating in the first phase of The Advance Project in general practice settings across Australia has been published in a peer reviewed journal article. The findings suggest that The Advance Project training and resources helped build nurses confidence to discuss sensitive topics around end-of-life care with their patients. Findings from the study informed development of the second phase of The Advance Project. In the second phase of The Advance Project the program was expanded to also include training and resources for General Practitioners and Practice Managers, to enable team-based initiation of advance care planning and palliative care needs assessment in general practice settings.
