Workshop: Controversies in providing end-of-life care for older people with cognitive impairment

The complexity of end-of-life care becomes even more fraught when the patient is an older person with cognitive impairment. Optimal care requires understanding our patient’s will and preferences, the rate and severity of underlying disease progression, and the availability and appropriateness of contemporary clinical interventions.

Learn from the wealth of knowledgeable and experienced speakers; Mark Boughey, Charlie Corke, Barbara Hayes, Hayley Hunter, Paul Komesaroff, Peter Lange, Lisa Mitchell and Jenny Schwarz. The learning mode is through didactic presentations and case-based discussions to share insights. This is an essential workshop for medical specialists in Geriatric, Palliative Care and General Medicine. It is relevant to clinicians, managers, leaders, and policy-makers who work in Victoria and across Australia. Attend in person or online. Places are limited to enhance the learning experience.
