The winners were announced for the Palliative Care in WA Awards 2021 sponsored by Bethesda Health Care at a wonderful gala dinner held last night.
This year the focus and categories of the Palliative Care in WA Awards was broadened to reflect Compassionate Communities, an international movement where communities have an active role in supporting those experiencing death, dying, care giving, grief and loss.
The judging panel commended the high-quality of nominations in every category which created quite a challenge for them. They also commented on how joyful it was to read so many personal testimonials from people who had witnessed and received compassionate and holistic palliative care through the journey of losing a loved one.
These testimonials illustrate the professionalism, dedication, innovation and teamwork shown everyday by those in the palliative, aged care and community service sectors who care for and support Western Australians at end-of-life.
We also congratulate those who received a special mention from the Judging Panel.
Also announced at the Awards Gala Dinner were two recipients of Honorary Life Membership to Palliative Care WA. Congratulations to Dr Kevin Yuen and Dr Scott Blackwell who have both rendered outstanding service to the cause of palliative care in Western Australia.
Palliative Care WA would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank the following sponsors and supporters for their generosity.
