As professionals and volunteers in health and care systems, we are the ones our community’s turn to for leadership and guidance – but these same communities also come with their own energy and skill.

Join Prof Hsien Seow and a panel of other experts as we explore how greater collaboration between health systems and local communities can address the care needs of the future.

Be part of this crucial and timely conversation and leave empowered to make a meaningful impact on palliative care and end-of-life support in your professional practice and local community.

Our approach to care needs to change to meet the needs of our increasingly ageing population, be part of that change. Join this conversation to better connect health systems and community.

Meet the experts:

Prof Hsien Seow

Professor Hsien Seow travels the world advocating for stronger, more human connections between health systems and the people and families they are called to serve.

Having earnt his doctorate from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and his Bachelor of Science from Yale University, Hsien is currently the Research Chair in Palliative Care and Health System Innovation at McMaster University, Canada.

Driven by a passion that is connected to his mum’s end of life experience with breast cancer, Hsien is focused on innovation within health systems and improving quality of care.

After his ‘rock star’ like reception at the 2023 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference last September in Sydney, he is back to build on the momentum he creates wherever he goes, and to reconnect with fans of his hit podcast series ‘The Waiting Room Revolution’ and best-selling book, ‘Hope for the best plan for the rest’, co-authored with Dr Sammy Winemaker.
