Feedback from students:
from Otani Asami
“I participated in a 4-day palliative care training, and to a calm and humorous personality of Julie and Tim. I was able to receive a fulfilling training with great peace of mind. During the training you will learn more than you can imagine. There was a new discovery, a great experience in my life and a good encounter.”
from Hiromi Ishii
“Man is born with dignity and dies with dignity” This is the word that I always want to keep in mind. What we can do for healthcare workers to protect “dignity” which is forgotten by advanced medical treatment is that, It is to give that opportunity to everyone. What kind of opportunities are there in training in Australia? I learned how it can be realised From now on, we will share the importance of quality of life among staff, I would like to make an effort to have the right palliative care. I appreciate the warm hospitality at the site. Thank you very much.
from Yuka Maekawa
We were given the opportunity to learn about palliative care in Australia. Julie, who was a lecturer in this training, was a specialist in palliative care, and I was able to have a very meaningful training by listening to valuable stories from those who have been working on the field face to the training institutes I visited. The situation at present is that a palliative care person in Japan is limited to a very small number of diseases, and despite being a similar aging society, I want to work to spread even a little bit of what I learned from Julie this time.
