Last Aid Community Education Program

Friday 14 June 2024, 10.00am to 2.00pm

Funded by Country SA PHN, this course is FREE for people living or working in regional South Australia.

Last Aid is a 4-hour international standardised introductory level community training program. On completion of the course you can be considered a Last Aider. The way we care for our dying reflects the humanity and compassion of our society. Through training we can create resilience, understanding and capacity within our community, helping us care for our loved ones, families and friends. We believe that just as every organisation needs a First Aider, we all need a Last Aider, because dying, death and grief are universal.

The course is for all members of the community, and there is no requirement for training or experience within the health of palliative care space to attend. While not directly targeted to health professionals, we welcome the attendance of everyone interested in these areas.

The topics covered include:

• Dying as a normal part of life
• Planning ahead
• Relieving suffering
• Final goodbyes.

Complimentary light refreshments, tea and coffee will be available on the day for all ticket holders. 

For more information about Last Aid Community Education Programs visit the Palliative Care South Australia website.

Places are limited. Register here for your free ticket.

Country SA PHN Executive Manager Strategic Engagement Emma Young was at South Australia's first ever Last Aid event on Monday 13 May 2024 at the Clare Country Club to learn all about it. Topics included dying as a normal part of life, planning ahead, relieving suffering and final goodbyes.
