Major Shed News
- Men’s Health Sessions Program — With the help of Maureen Ryland (Alpine Health) the Shed has arranged for professional health personnel to talk on relevant health issues every two months starting this Friday. The talk will following the sit-down BBQ. Sessions will be conducted for 30 minutes (including questions & answers).
The topic — Palliative Care Awareness and will be presented by the highly qualified Maureen Hardidge (RN, RM, Graduate Diploma & Masters Palliative Care, MCNA). The mention of Palliative Care to a person who is unwell usually invokes a feeling of panic or distress for them and their family. This is commonly due to a misguided community perception of the philosophy and role of Palliative Care in a persons disease trajectory. Palliative Care does not always mean death is imminent, although it has to be acknowledged that late involvement does at times mean that death follows closely to the referral for Palliative Care being made.
The purpose of the discussion on Friday is to try to demystify Palliative Care and explain its role and benefits.
