At our recent AGM we farewelled David Smeeton, a much loved and respected member of the Board of Palliative Care WA. David joined the Board in 2015 and has been a consistent and strong advocate since day one. One of Palliative Care WA’s strategic priorities is with the community and David helped us to keep this focus firmly in place. He could always be relied upon to ask whether we were helping to meet the needs of the community.
His enthusiastic demeanour, personable approach and passion for the delivery of quality palliative care for all has been contagious. David is a highly skilled but very humble man and we thank him for the huge contribution he has made to Palliative Care WA.

People came from Canada, Belgium, Scotland, Ireland, Austria, Holland, England, India, Taipei, New Zealand and across Australia.
