Complex and Community Care

What it covers

Students will use a strengths-based approach to explore how people live with complex chronic conditions and or life-limiting illnesses, across a range of health care settings and sectors. Students will examine how health literacy enables individuals achieve their goals for self-management; how effective care coordination within and across healthcare teams affects healthcare outcomes and transition of care and; how health promotion levels of prevention strategies prevent, delay or slow down disease progression. Students will be exposed to models of end of life and palliative care, as practiced in a range of environments, and the ethical, legal, spiritual and cultural issues that may arise.
