Events are a great way to stay connected with the health workforce and volunteers in the palliative care community. Here are the upcoming events:
Sunday 24 May – Saturday 30 May – National Palliative Care Week. The theme this year is: “Palliative Care… It’s more than you think”. Palliative Care Australia has some downloadable resources and more information – click here.
COVID-19 restrictions have forced the cancellation of many physical events and gatherings – but there’s still plenty of ways you can get involved in NPCW!
In NSW we will be hosting a week of video interviews and presentations in lieu of our annual Professional Education Day. Stay tuned!
