Palliative Care placement NSLHD employees are being encouraged to take part in a palliative care placement within the district.

The opportunity can be for three, four or five consecutive days and staff will identify their own learning objectives while shadowing specialist palliative care staff within the district across different care settings: acute hospital consults, inpatient palliative care units and community services.
