Live well, die well.

Easy to say – harder to do?

What are the key elements to a good palliation process?

As health professionals, what can we do to ensure that patients who require end-of-life management have their needs adequately met? How can we make the best use of available resources?

Palliative Care Insights is your opportunity to meet with our expert panel consisting of A/Prof Brian Le, Dr Paul Ng and Dr Catherine Brimblecombe to discuss this and much more. A/Prof Le is Director of Palliative Care Services at PeterMac and Melbourne Health; Dr Ng is a consultant psychiatrist in private practice,  and Dr Brimblecombe is a geriatrician and palliative care physician at Northern Health.

This seminar will be held on Wednesday August 16, 2017 at Shark Fin House –  131 Lt Bourke St, Melbourne CBD.
