National Palliative Care Week is Australia’s largest annual awareness-raising initiative, sparking important conversations about the benefits of quality palliative care and acknowledge and celebrate the commitment and dedication of all those working and volunteering in the palliative care sector.
From Sunday 22 – Saturday 28 May 2022, virtual and face-to-face events will be held across the country for clinicians and the community including:
- Palliative Care Education and Training Collaborative’s Palliative Approach Webinar
- Palliative Care Education and Training Collaborative’s Palliative Approach Webinar – South West Perspective
- Palliative Care WA Breakfast (Perth and Bunbury)
National Palliative Care Week is also a great time to check out Palliative Care Australia’s 2022-2027 Roadmap meeting the growing demand for palliative care in Australia, expected to increase by 50 per cent between now and 2035, and double by 2050.
Your practice can also help PCA raise awareness via social media using the campaign resources and events form. Join the NPCW conversation using the hashtags #NPCW2022 and #palliativecare.
