Our
Society firmly believes that:
-
People
with advanced incurable illness have a right to quality palliative
care. We are committed to provide care and support to them and their
families, aiming to meet different human needs - physical, psychological,
social and spiritual and even extending the care into the bereavement
period.
-
That
dying is a natural process and we do not hasten death or postpone
it.

We
have organized academic seminars, workshops and international conference,
some in collaboration with other organizations including Hong Kong Hospice
Nurses Association, Society for Promotion of Hospice Care, Training Subcommittee
of Central Co-ordination Committee of Hospice Care, under Hospital Authority.
The following meetings are held regularly:
-
Palliative Medicine Doctors' Meeting - held bi-monthly for professionals
interested in the field to share their clinical experience. A hosting
unit would present a selected topic with case illustration for discussion.
CME accreditations are granted by HKCP, HKCR, HKCFP and CSHK.
-
Hospice
Multidisciplinary Meeting - held four-monthly for the multidisciplinary
teams to share their experience in taking care of hospice patients
and their families.
