About the Programme/Event

What is Palliative Care and why does it concern me? How do I start a conversation with my loved ones about end-of-life matters?

These questions and more will be answered in Palliative Care 101, a two-hour course organised by the Singapore Hospice Council (SHC) for those curious about palliative care, end-of-life care matters and the relevant community resources available to support patients with life-limiting illnesses and their family in Singapore. E-certificates will be issued to participants who attended the full session.
