We were delighted that Dr Judy Tang was able to MC the event. Judy is a strong advocate for multiculturalism and LGBTQIA+ communities with expertise in psychology, ageing, research and mental health.
In addition, a panel of thought leaders, with lived experience, shared their expertise and provided an opportunity to engage in a compelling discussion about the research findings and strategies for creating an equitable and inclusive palliative care environment.
