Penilla Gunther: Enhancing quality of life through interdisciplinary care in palliative care sessions

Penilla Gunther posted the following on LinkedIn:

“An interesting Tuesday yesterday focusing on palliative care. I had the honor to moderate a session with Martin Loučka, Aline de Vieminck, Matthew Maddocks, and Roma Maguire MBE about how interdisciplinary care works in practice; enhance quality of life with kindness and compassion.

Keynote speeches by e.g. Joanna Drake and Libby Sallnow. A special encouragement to Inna Shchepanska, a young cancer survivor for bringing the message of the importance of information. Thanks to the Secretariat for the Mission on Cancer for your work in organizing the conference!”
