We are excited to announce the finalists have been chosen for the Palliative Care in WA Awards 2021 sponsored by Bethesda Health Care.

The quality of nominees was extremely high, with the judging panel commenting on the significant contribution to the sector shown across the board. The Outstanding Palliative Care Professional award was so competitive that the panel decided to select four finalists to go through to the next stage. They also selected one nominee as deserving of a Special Mention Award.

Each of the finalists have been invited to submit additional information to demonstrate and further address the selection criteria.

Award winners will be announced at the Gala Dinner for the Palliative Care in WA Awards 2021 sponsored by Bethesda Health Care on Thursday 4 November 2021. Tickets are now available at https://pcwa-2021awards-galadinner.eventbrite.com.au.
