Welcome to our first newsletter of 2026.

We are already keeping busy with formal education days including both our popular Palliative Care for Care Assistants study days and the slightly more advanced Fundamental of Palliative Care Programme. If you are keen but uncertain which to attend read more in our Education section to help you decide. We are travelling to key towns over Otago to deliver these programmes so enroll early so you do not miss out.

To assist us in planning new initiatives and improving the support we provide to facilities we are sending out a short survey to every facility in Otago. So please complete the survey and send in your comments, thoughts and ideas. We truly do want to hear from you.

As always if there is content you want us to cover or discuss in these pages please make contact at rct@otagohospice.co.nz

In the meantime: HAPPY READING!
