PROFESSOR ALLAN KELLEHEAR
This lecture will introduce the public health approach to palliative care outlining the main reasons why these strategies should be central to our palliative care practices and will go on to describe some key explanations and examples. We will review the main popular public health approaches to palliative care including compassionate communities and cities, health promotion, end-of-life/death literacy, service redesigns, and civic policy development. All these strategies underline the public need for all sectors of society to contribute to palliative care.
