In November, Palliative Care Western Australia held two Compassionate Communities Symposiums in Metro and Regional in WA. 90 people attended highly successful symposiums in Bunbury and Melville to introduce the Compassionate Communities approach to WA. Participants included a mix of community, local government and health professionals who highly rated the speakers from Perth and interstate. PCWA have been kind enough to allow anyone access to the presentations from all of the speakers at the symposium. Click the links below to access them.
