Earlier this year, Palliative Care Queensland (PCQ) hosted ten roundtables focused on workforce issues across regional, remote, rural and metro regions, as well as aged care and palliative care services for First Nations People. The outcomes of these roundtables and the ongoing engagement with stakeholders, has provided PCQ with rich knowledge and experience, which led to develop the themes for the 2023 Annual Summit.
Issues related to workforce, access, culture, care for under 65’s, Compassionate Communities, the hospice network and aged care will guide our discussions throughout this event, which will be the catalyst for developing PCQ’s 2024-2025 sector priorities and key improvement areas. This document not only represents the challenges and opportunities faced by the palliative care community, but also stand as the foundation upon which we will build a brighter future for the sector.
The 2023 Palliative Care Annual Summit and Awards is an opportunity to come together, learn, and collaborate, ultimately advancing the sector to ensure the best possible support for palliative care in Queensland.
