Description

As we age, conversations about frailty, dementia and future care can feel difficult, but they can also help us better understand what matters most and support people to live with dignity, comfort and connection.

Hear from:

Dr Aneesha Singh, Geriatrician and General Medicine Consultant with the Community Palliative Care Service, Metro North Health, who will discuss frailty, dementia and how we can prioritise care for older people living with complex health needs. Dr Singh will also share key insights from the Comfort Care Bundle for the Frail.

Kristy Clapp, Clinical Nurse Consultant with Dementia Australia, who will share practical insights into The Nightingale Program, a nurse-led model of care for people living with dementia and the only specialist dementia-based palliative care program in Australia.

Designed for healthcare and aged care professionals, carers, families and anyone interested in supporting older people, this session will offer practical insights grounded in care, compassion and respect for individual choices..

We believe that palliative care is everybody’s business, and we aim to build compassionate communities around people and their families experiencing serious illness, dying, death, caregiving and grief. This webinar is designed for all members of the community including both health and non-health related workers (i.e., healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, social workers, allied health staff, health administrative staff, spiritual care workers, health managers, health educators, pharmacists and paramedics). We also encourage people from diverse backgrounds to attend. These webinars are sponsored by Queensland Health, and supported by Queensland Ambulance Service.

FREE for PCQ members, PCQ Volunteers and QAS Paramedics.

Our belief: The way we care for our dying is a significant indicator of our society’s values

Our mission: Quality care at the end of life for all

Our vision: to hear Queensland community members say:

“I live in a community where everybody recognises that we all have a role to play in supporting each other in times of loss, ageing, dying and grief. We are ready, willing and confident to have conversations about living, ageing, dying and grieving well, and to support each other in emotional and practical ways”.

PCQ is committed to hosting an inclusive event. We want everyone to feel welcome. We encourage people of all genders, gender identities and expressions, nationalities, sexual orientations, ages, cultural backgrounds, and religions (or lack thereof) to attend.
