Advance care planning is more than completing documents, it is about listening, understanding culture, and creating space for conversations that respect people’s values, families, and ways of knowing
In this panel discussion webinar, join our panel of speakers Samantha McCLean, GP Palliative Care, Palliative and End of Life Services at the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) and Andrew Doyle, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advanced Health Care Worker at Mackay Specialist Palliative Care Services as they bring together voices and experiences to explore advance care planning with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including the role of culture in care decisions, why communication and consent matter, and how services and communities can support conversations around death, dying, and grieving.
This session invites health professionals, community members, carers, and anyone interested in providing more culturally responsive and compassionate care.
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.
