Workshop on ‘Community Participation in Palliative Care’

[Guest guest]

Hi all!

The Neighbourhood Network in Palliative Care (NNPC) groups in Kerala, in

association with Institute of Palliative Medicine, Kozhikode & Department of

Community Medicine, Medical college, Calicut are organising an International

Workshop in November 2004 (26, 27 & 28th; Manjeri, Kerala) on ‘Community

Participation in Palliative Care’.

This workshop is expected to discuss the theoretical and practical issues

related to the topic and will also be offering an additional post workshop

exposure to the NNPC program.

The Day 2 of the workshop has been set apart for discussing issues related to

HIV / AIDS in the developing world.

As the proposed theme for the next International Conference of Indian

Association of Palliative Care (February 2005, Guwahati, Assam) is also the

same, the November workshop can also act as a pre conference workshop for the

February Conference. These two events, together, we hope, can be an intial step

towards evolving guidelines / action plans / suggestions for community oriented

palliative care services in the Third World.
