Curious about what was achieved at the Rural and Remote Institute of Palliative Medicine Round Table workshop held in Canberra recently?

With valuable contributions from many organisations and people working in this space, the RRIPM Project is forging ahead to establish a specialist palliative medicine training network across rural Australia.

Activities on the day covered everything from hearing about the challenging reality for people dying in outback Australia to vision-building for a better system and diving deep into the “how.”

Small group discussions tackled big topics like leadership, education, building capacity, relationships, and workforce planning.

Additionally, recommendations and the next steps toward shaping and defining the RRIPM Roadmap 2025-2030 were mapped out.
