We had a guest speaker from Shannon's Bridge, join us, it’s a charity and volunteer run organisation which helps connect patients and existing palliative care services and supports.
WHY WAS SHANNON’S BRIDGE CHARITY CREATED?
Palliative care is specialist care for people living with incurable and life-limiting illnesses with the primary goal of quality of life. It involves a team approach with a focus on managing symptoms and helping the family unit adjust from the idea of treatment being used to cure their loved ones.
But there is so much more than that, if you would like to hear more from Jeremy McKnight speak about his journey with daughter Shannon with her end-of-life care, click here
We will have more information soon regarding Jeremy possibly coming to Geelong and explaining more about the work they do, and the workshop training they run. Watch this space!
