The ACP International Conference provides an unmatched opportunity for our members to learn from experts and leaders in paramedicine. ACPIC 2021 was delivered as a hybrid conference (online and face to face in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and Hobart, TAS) in November 2021.

Advance care planning encourages people to think about and document what matters most to them. This session will outline the journey of advance care planning in Canterbury and share the important role our collaboration with St John has played in ensuring continuity of care and the delivery of treatment that aligns with the person’s goals and wishes.
