Events

Since 1996, as part of its mission to provide information about palliative care to the public, the Council has run a variety of workshops and lectures throughout the years. The workshops are usually run in the spring and fall and cover a range of topics from practical caregiving, how to access palliative care, living wills, communications, grieving and ethical issues. These workshops include the annual workshop held in memory of David Bourke - a co-founder of the Council.
As part of Palliative Care Week in May, the Council invites a well known speaker to present to address subjects of topical interest.
All these events are free and open to all.
With the help of NCS Multimedia, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ, the Council had been able to record its recent lecturesÌýwhich are listedÌýhere.Ìý
