With registrations climbing towards 1,000 delegates, the full program for the 2023 Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (23OPCC) to run from 13 to 15 Sep in Sydney has been released. “Our sector is very passionate about the care they provide and OPCC really energises innovative thinking not just in the palliative care sector but also its connection with aged care, disability services and the wider health system,” said Camilla Rowland, CEO, Palliative Care Australia. Speakers include geriatrician Dr Sue Kurrle, Canadian researcher and podcaster Dr Hsien Seow, former Health Secretary Prof Brendan Murphy, Aboriginal nurse practitioner Kat Hooper, researcher Prof David Currow and many more. Designed around the theme, ‘With the end in mind, shaping stronger health systems, delivering quality palliative care’, the program will roll out across three concurrent streams, picking up on topical issues in a postCOVID world related to sustaining and building the workforce, caring for diverse populations, future models of care, aged care and primary health reform, and the best and latest in clinical care. “We were blown away by the strength of the abstract submissions we received, the best and brightest speakers are lining up to share their work and knowledge at OPCC,” shared Rowland. “OPCC will bring all in the southern hemisphere together to shape the future.” Adding to the mix is a series of workshops exploring creative expression, Aboriginal culture, storytelling, the art of hypnotherapy, the use of song in palliative care, and more. The full 23OPCC program featuring over 215 speakers, 15 plenary presentations, and 15 workshops can be viewed HERE. Standard registrations are open until 17 Aug, and a late fee will apply from 18 Aug. See registration details, HERE.
