The PCAKK Home Care Team joined an insightful online training session from Queensland, Australia on “Chronic Respiratory Disease.”

The session featured two distinguished presenters:
👩‍⚕️ Professor Jennifer Philip – Chair of Palliative Medicine, Department of Medicine, The University of Melbourne
👨‍⚕️ Dr. Luke Garske – Staff Specialist Respiratory & Thoracic Physician, Caboolture Hospital

It was a valuable learning opportunity that deepened our understanding of managing and providing palliative care for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.

🌿 PCAKK recently had the honor of hosting Dr. Daren Teoh, Oncologist from KPJ, who shared his expertise on “The Role of Chemotherapy in Palliative Care.”

The session was attended by our volunteers, staff, caregivers, and members of the community who were eager to learn more about how medical advances can be integrated into holistic palliative support. The atmosphere was both educational and heartfelt, as participants not only gained knowledge but also had the chance to ask meaningful questions and exchange experiences. 💙

We sincerely thank Dr. Daren for taking the time to share his expertise with us, and to everyone who joined this session, your presence made it all the more impactful. Together, we continue our mission to bring dignity, comfort, and compassion to those who need it most. 🌸
