Facing the Elephant in the Room – Preparing for end of life

Wednesday 21 October 2020 10am – 12:00pm (AEDT)

Unfortunately we experienced major technical difficulties with the live stream of this event. The recording of all speakers will be available ASAP to watch the event in full. We thank you for your patience.

We recently invited the community to suggest some topics that are traditionally difficult to speak about or seldom discussed with the treating team. The overwhelming response to this survey was for a seminar discussing the role of palliative care and what happens at the end of life for those with myeloma. We have carefully selected a group of expert speakers and topics to hopefully improve your understanding of this extremely sensitive information.

This event will be recorded and available to view on this webpage at a later date.

 

We recommend watching this seminar with a support person if possible. If you would like to discuss the content before or after the event, please don’t hesitate to contact our Myeloma Support Nurses:
