Beyond the Walls - PCA Connect Webinar

PCA Connect presents ‘Beyond the Walls’, a webinar exploring the needs that exist beyond the hospital walls for children, young people, and their families with palliative care needs.

As a community, and as professionals, we want to ensure the families we walk alongside are supported in all parts of their journey, but the needs that arise outside of their time in hospital can be hard to predict or to prepare families for. This webinar gives a rare opportunity to hear candidly from young people, parents, and community service providers about what happens ‘beyond the walls’ of the hospital and how health professionals can prepare and support families for the challenges they may face.

In addition to hearing what needs exist in the community, you will hear from service providers and explore learnings from the Paediatric Palliative Care National Action Plan community consultations around what services exist and processes for referral.

 

 

 

Speakers:

  • Kelly Oldham – Nurse Practitioner, Hummingbird House at Home Lead, Brisbane
  • Tim Rogers – National Advocacy and Collaborations Manager, Redkite
