Application Unsuccessful to Present at Palliative Care Australia Connection with Community Conference in Adelaide

We submitted a detailed submission to present at Palliative Care Australia’s national ‘Connection with Communities‘ conference that was held in Adelaide over the 6th to 8th of September 2017.

Once again Little Haven’s successful and working model of Community Based Palliative Care was not something that our Peak Body was interested in having presented at their conference.

Instead PCA accepted submissions by scholars who talk about connecting with communities rather than those who are actually doing it. They’d rather focus on compassionate community models coming out of the UK than the grass roots Hospice services with a long history of a working compassionate community model in regional Australia.

Why is that?????
