Communication, Collaboration and Coordination: The 3 C's of palliative care in aged care

For general practitioners, residential aged care facility managers and care coordinators working across Melbourne

Join us as we follow Betty's story, identifying her palliative care needs, and understanding how and where to access resources. It will look at the palliative care system and cover how to communicate and collaborate with service providers to coordinate optimal end-of-life care.

During the day you will be introduced to the palliative care system and learn how to communicate and collaborate with service providers to co-ordinate optimal palliative and end of life care.

There will be three panel sessions with Q&A opportunities for the audience to participate in and increase knowledge and confidence in managing palliative care needs.

Places are limited so register today to avoid disappointment.
