Integrative Community Palliative Care are running a ‘Palliative Care and Preparing for Death Workshop’ in Bellingen, 30 – 31 July 2022 for health care workers.
Confronting death can be overwhelming if people are not prepared, however, by developing deeper insights, accompanying the dying becomes a unique experience that brings a sense of reverence and fulfilment.
This workshop highlights home nursing care practices throughout the death process whilst creating meaning through ritual. The workshop will discuss planning of after-death care options, including the 3-day vigil. The aim of the workshop is to share information so that more informed and personal choices can be made in the emerging field of community death care.
