Adolescents have unique needs - this should be an excellent webinar!

📣 Adolescent Palliative Care: Support, Communication & the Transition Journey

Adolescence can be a challenging time for anyone, but for young people living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, the challenges can be even greater.

How can we best support and communicate with adolescents living with conditions appropriate for palliative care? And how can we help them navigate the often-complex transition from paediatric to adolescent and ultimately adult palliative care?

Join us for the third of our quarterly webinars as we explore these important questions with two experienced practitioners:

🎙️ Tracy Brand
Medical Social Worker & Director, Umduduzi Hospice Care for Children

🎙️ Dr Jivanesh Chetty
MBBCh, PGDip HIV Management & PGDip Interdisciplinary Pain Management

📅 Wednesday, 19 August 2026
⏰ 18h30–20h00 (SAST)
💻 Online via Zoom

Whether you work with adolescents, support families, or are interested in improving palliative care for young people, we’d love you to join us.
