A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Join Claudine Barnes as she talks about the inception of the Hospice movement here in WA with Cancer Council CEO Ashley Reid. Following the birth of the hospice movement at Crawford Lodge under the care of Cancer Council WA, to the many metro and regional Hospice Centres located across the state under the Department of Health, WA Country Health Services and Community Hospice movements.

Listen in as we embark on a discussion that Hospice care is for anyone with a life limiting illness. We explore definitions of palliative and hospice care and tackle some misconceptions that can sometimes build unconscious bias within our communities. Our aim is to provide health professionals with information and links to helpful sites and also pay homage to the wonderful services currently offered to our community not only through CCWA but other West Australian Organisations.
