The public health movement in palliative care has its roots in experimental community programs
that begun in Australia, Africa, Canada, India, Spain and South America in the late 1990s.
Since that period, interest in the basic concepts and practices of a public health approach –
also known as health promoting palliative care
is spreading to all corners of the global palliative care community.
Concepts of prevention, harm reduction and health and death education are materialising in palliative care practices
in the form of community development and service partnerships.
This conference will draw together the diverse public health experiments and practices from around the world
to discuss and evaluate ongoing value and contribution of this form of palliative care practice.
The conference will divide its activities between invited keynote speakers, volunteered papers,
panel sessions and ample discussion time.
This is an international, interdisciplinary conference that welcomes all professionals
involved in the public health movement in palliative care.
