During Palliative Care week our members did a fantastic job spreading awareness about their work, the importance of Palliative Care field and its benefits.
The Supportive and Palliative Care Consult Team at Nepean Hospital provided education and awareness, they gave away the pens, biscuits, the daisy seeds and started a lot of conversations about advance care planning and supportive care.

South Western Sydney Local Health District held several film hosting across their sites, including Fairfield Hospital and Liverpool Hospital. Their Liverpool Hospital screening saw roughly 25 staff from all different specialties joining in the festivities, sharing popcorn, cakes and other nibbles while watching the film.
Liverpool Hospital also held a morning tea on their palliative care ward balcony where staff invited families, carers, patients and staff to join them in sharing the #MattersOfLifeAndDeath.
Everyone was encouraged to paint their own butterfly and write their end of life wish. These butterflies were being displayed on the balcony ward and in the rooms of their patients to keep encouraging these meaningful conversations.
Thanks to Maxine for the info and the photos!
