Palliative care for people living with & dying from dementia | Online webinar

Department of Health End of Life Care Program and Older Persons Health Network invite you to attend a webinar on models of palliative care for people living with and dying from dementia presented by Dr Elissa Campbell, geriatrician, and palliative care physician.

Dementia is the leading cause of death in older Australians, and people with dementia often experience distressing symptoms and burdensome interventions at the end of life. Despite this, people living with and dying from dementia are less likely to access palliative care.

WA Department of Health Churchill Fellow Dr Campbell visited multiple clinical, research and community organisations in six countries in 2022 to explore models of palliative care for people with dementia. Her presentation will describe various models of palliative dementia care and outline several common components of these models that may be adapted to Australian settings.

When: Tuesday 14 November 2023 | 3.00pm-3.45pm.
