Palliative Care Breakfast and Education Day



Breakfast at Parliament: 7.00am - 9.00am

Launch of National Palliative Care Week

Join us at breakfast for the launch of National Palliative Care Week hosted by Dr Norman Swan.  'Futurologist' Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite, Foundation Director of the Australian Institute for Health Innovation will give us a look into the future with his keynote address:

The future of healthcare in Australia - how will palliative care fit?


Education Day: 9.00am - 4.00pm

Palliative care: It's not just about dying

This full day education session is about helping you deliver the best possible quality care for your patients, their families and carers at the end of life.

Join us for a challenging panel session Dying isn't the point.  This fully interactive session is being webcast across Australia as we get questions and views from health professionals all across the country.

This day will challenge your preconceptions about palliative care.  You will come away with a new focus for your practice.

Other sessions include:

  • Show me the money! A step by step guide to billing, MBS items and palliative care
  • Aged care and eHealth Exploring better ways to deliver quality care to an ageing population
  • Will I be sued for carrying out a patient's wishes? Untangling the legal ramifications of advance care directives and substitute decision makers

The day concludes with a choice of clinical sessions designed to build your knowledge and skills.  Choose from:

  • Dementia and palliative care
  • Pain management and palliative care
  • Advance care planning and palliative care

 CPD POINTS AVAILABLE!
