Travel date: February 11, 2022
Name of Meeting/Event/Activity: 29th International Conference of Indian Association for Palliative Care
Origin: Ranchi, India / Destination: Jaipur, India
It was a real feast having IAPCON 2022 as a virtual academic extravaganza filled with exciting updates in Palliative care.
As Palliative care is still lacking in most part of India, topics such as challenges with early integration of Palliative care in Indian scenario and government policies to support delivery of Palliative Care in India has given me an insight to existing challenges and opportunities in Indian Palliative care. Delicate topics such as sensitive conversations with children and families, self-care with compassion and humanity and good death has given a new dimension to my knowledge and this shall help me enhancing my communication skill with my patients.
A big thanks to IAHPC..!!
Ways to achieve clinical excellence in palliative care with teamwork and leadership qualities would help each of us in developing and strengthening our palliative care services. For me, End of life care plan for Covid patients and ILD were new things to be learnt. The sessions were evidence based trying to fulfil the existing gaps in the field of Indian palliative care.
