Palliative and end-of-life care is essential across all areas of healthcare, yet people with cardiorespiratory failure often face barriers to timely, well-coordinated support. This webinar is designed to equip non-palliative care specialty healthcare professionals (including medical, nursing, and allied health teams) with the knowledge and skills to enhance care for people with heart failure and chronic respiratory diseases in a variety of settings.
With a strong clinical focus, this session will explore practical evidence-based approaches to symptom management, advance care planning, and multidisciplinary coordination. Led by an expert speaker, the discussion will provide valuable insights into recognising when a palliative approach is beneficial, addressing complex symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue, and ensuring seamless transitions between acute, primary, and community care.
Join CESPHN and Maxine Krebs, CNC from PACCS, as we discuss the importance of palliative and end-of-life care for individuals with cardiorespiratory failure, practical strategies for symptom management, and the role of GP led multidisciplinary coordination in improving care outcomes. Time will be available for questions after the presentation.
