SUMMARY:Recognising and Responding to Elder Abuse in Older Adults | Webinar

DESCRIPTION:The College is grateful to be able to welcome Camilla Rowland\, Chief Executive Officer\, Palliative Care Australia (PCA) as our guest speaker for the ACHSM College live webcast 2025 series. \nThe Australian health system has traditionally delivered end of life care through palliative care services and other health specialties such as oncology and primary health over the decades.  With our rapidly growing ageing population and the introduction of Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation now across almost every State and Territory\, it is critical to consider the impact on the health systems and services\, and indeed all health professionals. This webcast considers the barriers and opportunities of how the health system needs to change to address patient-centred care and support the practices of health professionals. \nThroughout this live webcast you have the opportunity to submit your questions to Camilla via our moderator for the live Q&A session following the main presentation\, the Q&A and webcast event will be moderated by ACHSM College President Dr Neale Fong FCHSM CHE. \n  \nFor further information and to register CLICK HERE.
