About this event
- 1 day 9 hours
Welcome to the 3rd Annual End-of-Life Doula International Research Symposium.
This year we will be hosting nine speakers from five countries, each who will be sharing some of the first innovative research about end-of-life doulas that is beginning to emerge from different parts of the world.
On Day 2 we will be hosting a Discussion Forum to engage with a range of health and social care stakeholders about what they are interested in learning about (and from) end-of-life doulas. We will also offer a practitioner workshop that employs a series of case studies to delve into the issues and different ways in which end-of-life doulas can support people with dementia, multi-generational households, and those who request assisted dying, among other concerns.
More generally, we have ensured time for Symposium participants to connect through our in-person and online socials, and finally, we’ve organized for a public event to share national and international perspectives about what end-of-life doulas do.
There are a limited number of in-person tickets, so you'll need to book as soon as possible.
You will be sent the full Symposium Hanbook upon registration.
See you there!
