2024 Palliative Care Summit
A fantastic day of education, conversation and awards. Alongside incredible sector insights from staff on the ground, each one of the Palliative Care Queensland Summit attendees have assisted us in shaping the palliative care priorities for 2025.
Every bit of insight and information gathered will be used to finalise the 2025 priorities report, which will guide our advocacy work and budget submission over the next year.
On behalf of the Palliative Care Queensland Board, we would like to extend a special thank you to our wonderful speakers and panellists who gave their time to share their knowledge and insights with our palliative care community:
