Palliative Pupus May 2023
2024-05-15 17:15 - 18:30
We’d like to invite you to our virtual only Palliative Pupus in May

Palliative Pupus is a unique opportunity to hear about a palliative care case. It is good for palliative care practitioners to learn and increase skills. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn about what palliative care really is and what our amazing colleagues actually do. Cases usually involve a range of practitioners including doctor, nurse, chaplain and social workers and cover physical, emotion and spiritual issues.

We are constantly impressed by how our colleagues go the extra mile to care for patients and families so please come to learn and invite colleagues. Especially as we are building the capacity to provide palliative care across the state, this is an excellent opportunity.

This month: Join us for a discussion about a young patient who benefited from home-based and inpatient palliative care as she initially beat the odds with cutting edge oncologic therapy prior to fulfilling her end-of-life wishes.

We will continue to meet virtually on zoom in 2024. In addition we meet every second month in person at the QCC and offer a hybrid zoom format. To include neighbor islands we will remain on zoom in a hybrid format.

The topic and zoom registration link will be announced in our 2024 newsletter prior to the meeting.

Palliative Pupus July 2023 hybrid

In July 2023 get together in person again as well!

In July: Kaiser will be presenting and we will hear how a palliative care team worked to resolve conflicts over goals of care for a patient with a poor prognosis and without a designated decision-maker.

Since March 2024 we switched to hybrid, meaning we will meet in person at Queen’s Conference Center and Zoom for everybody who can not join us physically. We alternate bi-monthly to be on Zoom only and hybrid (in person and zoom).

Our exciting local bi-monthly networking and clinical education opportunity on zoom and starting this month in person again as well. Come participate in an interactive interdisciplinary story from the cutting edge of hospice and palliative care and mingle with colleagues from all over the islands on zoom. If you are involved with palliative care cases, you are invited. Please tell your colleagues and friends.
