National Palliative Care Week
National Palliative Care Week 2021, held from Sunday, 23 May – Saturday, 29 May, is our chance to amplify our voices and raise awareness about the many benefits of quality palliative care.
The theme for NPCW 2021 is: “Palliative Care, It’s more than you think.”
The theme highlights that palliative care is more than only end-of-life care and physical symptom management. It is so much more than that. Palliative care is care that helps people (from babies to older adults) live their life as well as possible for as long as possible, when living with a life-limiting or terminal illness .It is person and family-centred care that considers the individual’s physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, as well as the needs of their loved ones and carers.
Palliative Care Tasmania is excited to present a wide range of activities and events across the week, both online and in person.
