As we transition towards a super-aged society, there will be a huge surge in the number of caregivers responsible for seniors. This will be further complicated by higher incidence of chronic diseases, and increasing demand on palliative care services. There is an urgent need to provide end-of-life literacy to the broader community to support the needs of the changing demographics.

The Last Aid course is the educational basis of compassionate communities and helps to raise awareness on topics like palliative care, death, dying, grief and bereavement. The concept of Last Aid and the public knowledge approach to teach palliative care for the public was developed in 2008 by Dr Georg Bollig, an emergency care physician and consultant in Palliative Medicine.

Schedule: 13th and 27th Sept, Sat 2-6pm. (total 8 hours)

  • Mix of didactic learning, reflection, discussion and practical hands-on activities.

  • Each workshop is capped at 20 participants, with priority given to caregivers or seniors above 65 years old.

  • Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
