Join us as we hear from Antonela Vogranic, Chief Nursing Information Officer, Peter Mac.

As technology becomes more deeply woven into healthcare, what does this mean for palliative care nurses, patients, and families?

Sarah Begley, Clinical Nurse Educator and PCNA Committee Member, will be moderating this session, where our participants will learn more about:

  • How to keep the human side of care front and centre

  • Real-world examples of technology in cancer nursing

  • The benefits and challenges of new healthcare tools

  • Making the most of telehealth in community palliative care

  • The growing role of AI and its potential to support care

  • What to do when training and support don’t keep up with change

  • And - what excites us most about the future of technology in nursing and palliative care.

This session is a must for any nurse or healthcare professional working in or alongside palliative care who wants to balance innovation with human connection.
