Palliative Care in Advanced Non-cancer Conditions

PLEASE COME BACK FOR UPDATES.
Palliative Care in Advanced Non-cancer Conditions

PLEASE COME BACK FOR UPDATES.

As our population ages, more people will be developing chronic medical conditions which will progress and eventually lead to death. The challenges of managing a patient with advanced non-cancer conditions can be fairly different from caring for someone who is suffering from advanced cancer. The 2-day course will highlight these challenges and focus on palliative care approaches to help healthcare professionals manage non-cancer end-of-life care better.
