Te Omanga Hospice in conjunction with primary health and residential care creates this Conference to stimulate connections, collaboration, and new knowledge for better end of life care.

The Conference will focus on understanding and continuing to bring the true essence of palliative care to our communities. How do we expand this essence from within our hospices out to our communities, opening up public perception so that the essence is harnessed and actioned and our communities believe that end of life care belongs to us all?

The concept of ‘total pain’ will be explored acknowledging that loneliness can be as unbearable as physical pain and that creativity of our thoughts and feelings as individuals or groups can link us together in action to grow and sustain healthy care at end of life.

• Opening up Public ‘Perception’ to the Essence of Palliative Care

• Expanding the ‘Essence’ out into our Communities

• Changing the ‘Melody’ beyond the clinical

• Living links in ‘Action’

• ‘Uniting’ together to give effective and creative care

We are honoured to have him blessing us with his presence in New Zealand. Dr Rajagopal is our guest speaker at Changing Minds and the Public Screening.

Yoko Sen from the United States believes all people should experience the end of life in a way that matches their values and goals. She is a musician, performer and patient. Her sensitivity to sound has inspired her to create a more soothing, healthier auditory experience in hospitals and health care environments.

Focussed as much on staff as patients, she makes a compelling case that the quality of the environment directly impacts the delivery of care and its outcomes.

Yoko Sen is our guest speaker at Changing Minds and will question “What’s the last sound you will ever hear.”

DYING TO KNOW DAY8 AUGUST

Dying to Know Day is dedicated to bringing to life conversations and community actions around death, dying and bereavement. It stands for:

• Community led conversations about end of life care, death and loss.

• Death, dying and bereavement are social experiences best addressed through initiatives that involve the whole community. It is through family conversations over dinner, death cafes, school projects, art galleries, and workplaces that we can break down barriers and socialise the response to death. This can help build compassionate communities ready and able to respond to death and loss when it occurs.

• Meaningful value-based end of life planning occurs at any age and regardless of our health status.

• Planning ahead means we have the opportunity to communicate what we do and don’t want at the end of life.

• Developing death literacy – the practical know how needed for end of life planning.

HOSPICE AWARENESS WEEK18 MAY – 24 MAY

Hospice Awareness Week celebrates the services hospices provide throughout New Zealand. It addresses misconceptions that people may have around hospice care.Often, there is a mistaken belief that “hospice is just a place you go to die.” Hospice cares for people’s physical, emotional, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual needs. It helps people with any terminal or life limiting illness to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
