People with cancer who receive palliative care have better managed pain and symptoms, feel better about the care they receive and have better supported families and carers, yet only a minority of people receive this support.
Join Prof Brian Le in this webinar to learn why this happens and how a novel palliative care program can help reduce this unequal access to care.
