Instructions for downloading templates into Medical Director or Best Practice
The End of Life Care Plan – Community template supports general practitioners and community-based healthcare providers to develop a coordinated, proactive care plan for patients approaching the end of life, where death is anticipated in the coming weeks to months.
The template assists clinicians to document patient goals, symptom management strategies, advance care planning information, family and carer supports, multidisciplinary care arrangements, and after-hours contacts. It promotes clear communication between healthcare providers, patients, families and carers, helping to ensure care aligns with the patient’s wishes and supports high-quality end-of-life care in the community setting.
Designed for use alongside existing advance care planning and palliative care documentation, the template facilitates coordinated care, anticipatory prescribing, symptom management, and regular review as a patient’s needs change.
