Ethics lies at the heart of healthcare. For patients who are at the end-of-life and their families, it is important for healthcare professionals to apply ethical principles in order to make decisions in their best interest. Recognising this, the course will focus on the theme of “Decision-Making for the Complex, the Frail and the Vulnerable”.
21 and 22 August 2025
As our population ages, more people will be developing chronic medical conditions which will progress and eventually lead to death. The challenges of managing a patient with advanced non-cancer conditions can be fairly different from caring for someone who is suffering from advanced cancer. The 2-day course will highlight these challenges and focus on palliative care approaches to help healthcare professionals manage non-cancer end-of-life care better.
