8 Week Palliative Care Virtual Education Course October 2023
Event description
Banksia Palliative care service offer our education sessions to empower clinicians, and members of the community with specific, specialist palliative care knowledge.
We believe that the more health professionals with capacity in this vital area, the more people who will receive the personalised care and treatment that will enable them to have dignity in death, whatever that looks like for that individual.
