In 2022, local clinical connections are more important than ever. This is your chance to embed yourself in your local community of health practitioners to make friends, network, learn new information and have fun in a collaborative, knowledge-sharing space!
Join the Nambucca & Macksville Valley Clinical Society on Wednesday 25 May at Bluegum Function Centre, Macksville from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
Network with other local clinicians, enjoy a two-course dinner, and learn more about end of life planning in the Nambucca Valley. This clinical society topics were chosen by the clinical society members, so we’ll hear from local clinicians about end of life considerations for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Nambucca Valley and how to support deterioration and dying at home for all patients in your community.
