In Montreal for the 22nd International Congress on Palliative Care. It’s a huge conference at Montreal’s Palais des Congres with thousands of participants from all over the world. It’s easy to get overwhelmed but the cure for that feeling is to focus on the people right around you and the stories being shared by the speakers and audience alike!
I’ll share some insights over the next couple of days. My biggest highlight so far was my chat with my hero Balfour Mount, the father of Palliative Care and founder of the conference. We met at the Hospice at May Court when he was visiting his close friend, a pioneering palliative care doctor. He remembered me and our conversation in the sunroom at the Hospice and we embraced one another. Such a remarkable man!
I was excited to see one of my favourite colleague/nurses at my last session. I look forward to a very full final day tomorrow!
Thanks
