Palliative care in northern Queensland networking dinner

Posted Friday 22 November 2024 | Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN)

Palliative care has two dynamics; science-based practice, and relationships between patient, family, and health professional. Each dynamic is essential for quality palliative care.

Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) invites you for a free education dinner to learn, network, and share experiences with your colleagues in the sector.
