In this Palliative Care Queensland (PCQ) educational webinar our guest speakers Yody Espitia Buritica, Clinical Nurse Consultant at Hummingbird House and Alessia Aielli, Project Officer at Palliative Care Australia will join us to share the importance of Language and Culture in Paediatric Palliative Care. They will discuss why it is important to be curious and open when engaging with different communities, and why it matters to work with and alongside families from non-English speaking backgrounds. They will also introduce Caring Together booklet as evidence of what culturally responsive care can look like in practice.
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.
