Palliative Pupus August 2026
2026-08-19 08:00 - 17:00 (Pacific/Honolulu)
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.
