This tool is for people working in aged care who need quick and easy access to reliable, up-to-date information on aged care issues. It uses PubMed, a trusted health database from the National Library of Medicine (US). For searches more specific to palliative care topics, try the CareSearch QuickSearch tool.
Tips to get started
- Select topics
Click on the topics you want to include in your search.
- Add keywords
To add a topic not offered in the options, type it in the 'keyword' box. Combining the basic search with just one extra topic often works best.
- Check your results
If your search shows few or no results, it may mean there isn’t much published on that topic or the term isn’t recognised. Try using related words, like 'case conferences' instead of 'family meetings.'
- Use quotation marks
For terms with two or more words, put them in double quotation marks to keep them together, e.g., "family meetings."
