Managing Complexity in Palliative Care ECHO

Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes

Enrol in the Palliative Care ECHO

ECHO is designed to build a supportive community of practice, fostering shared learning, collaboration, and professional connection across South Australia.

Through interactive online sessions, participants learn best-practice care directly from an experienced multidisciplinary expert panel. Each session includes case-based discussions, providing a practical opportunity to apply knowledge, share experiences, and gain insights from peers.

We welcome healthcare professionals from metropolitan, rural, and regional South Australia to join this FREE program and become part of a collaborative learning network committed to improving patient care.

Submit your case

We welcome the submission of all cases — from common clinical presentations involving diagnosis and routine management, to more complex or challenging patient scenarios.

Individuals and teams are encouraged to share cases to support collective learning, reflection, and the ongoing improvement of patient care and outcomes.

Please note: ECHO sessions are educational in nature and are not intended to replace specialist referral, formal occupational health advice, or secondary consultation where required.
