Palliative Care Summit report now available
Doing Death Differently, the 2022 Palliative Care Summit held in November, was a hugely successful event that generated a great deal of engagement from the palliative care sector. We would like to thank all our members and subscribers who attended for your participation and contribution to the event.
Palliative Care WA has produced a Summit Report that you can read HERE which outlines the very positive feedback from the post event survey. It also includes comments from presenters and participants.
We have also uploaded some of the presentations from the day on our website and these can be viewed HERE.
Thank you again for your contribution to the success of Doing Death Differently. We couldn’t have done it without your involvement.
