Palliative Care ECHO is a series of interactive case-based virtual mentoring sessions that address a range of palliative care topics. Discussions of deidentified patient cases and 10-minute lectures aim to increase palliative care knowledge, skills, and confidence in primary care health professionals.
Monthly sessions are held via Zoom on the third Tuesday of every month – 1pm to 2pm (AEST).
Sessions consist of:
- A Palliative Care Specialist presentation – topic of the month (10-minute talk)
- A deidentified case presentation by a primary care professional (do you have a case you’d like to share? Click here)
- Lots of opportunities for Q&A and discussion
