2025 Perinatal Palliative Care Webinar

Gentle words for Heavy Moments: talking about end-of-life matters

The Perinatal Palliative Care Subcommittee of PSANZ invites you to join us for a thought-provoking presentation about end-of-life decision making with expert insights from paediatric palliative care consultants and a bereaved parent.

In this webinar, we will explore communication theories and practical strategies for navigating end-of-life discussions with patients who have life-limiting conditions. Our focus will be on how physicians and the wider multidisciplinary team can effectively support and prepare parents for decision-making. We will also consider what parents take away from these conversations and, ultimately, how we can develop a structured communication framework to guide and support families during these profoundly challenging moments.
This webinar will be interactive with the opportunity for Q & A with our presenters.

Speakers:
Dr Sid Vemuri – Victorian Paediatric Palliative Care Consultant
Dr Nick Mills – Paediatric Palliative Care Consultant
Priyanka Saha – Mum to Lily and parent representative
