What is palliative care?
Palliative care helps people with any life-limiting or terminal condition to live their life as fully and as comfortably as possible. It is not just for people with cancer.
Palliative care identifies and treats symptoms which may be physical, emotional, spiritual or social. It also provides practical and emotional support to family and carers.
Palliative Care WA has delivered hundreds of free, informative and interactive community workshops on advance care planning and palliative care in Perth and regional WA over many years.
The theme of our 2024 Palliative Care Summit is Navigating the crossroads: Building the intersection between palliative care and neurodegenerative disease
