A bit of shameless advertising here.....
Breacan is organising a session on palliative care on Monday October 14, 11am - 12.30.
This session is NOT just for ABC women, though it may have particular relevance for us. Many of s have elderly parents and this is a topic beset with myths, so take the opportunity to inform yourself.
Palliative care aims to give people control over their treatment options and their quality of life. It's about putting in the practical support for patients and their families to ensure symptoms are well controlled, that carers get the support they need and that anxiety and stress are minimised.
Associate Professor Kate Jackson, Director Supportive and Palliative Care, and Gabrielle O'Connor, Palliative Care Nurse Consultant Manager, from Monash Health will Present this session and answer questions.
Bookings are required. Phone 1300 781 500 or email breach@breacan.org.au
(I am very keen on attending this session and know it won't run if the numbers are too low.)
Best wishes to all..... Pam
