Please come along and get involved in sector conversations around strategic priorities for Palliative Care WA for 2020 and beyond. We will also be reflecting on the events, progress and reports of 2019 and what they mean for the future.
Your input is important to us and will help shape our own strategic planning exercise. You are also invited to stay for a Christmas sundowner afterwards to network with sector colleagues.
This is your chance to tell us what you want from your peak body.
