Entitled "Palliative care is public health: principles to practice", this will be an opportunity for hospices, and the organisations with whom they collaborate, to share, learn and network internationally.
‘Empowerment, Engagement and Partnership: participating to develop healthy cities’ will examine how urban environments create both impediments, as well as opportunities, to contribute to developing health urban environments.
International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on August 31st each year and aims to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drug-related death.
The theme will be "making alcohol and other drug realities" which draws on the idea that the processes of studying, treating and otherwise responding to entities such as drugs do not simply ‘map’, ‘reveal’ or ‘deal with’ them; they enact or constitute them as realities.
Topics include: what science says about drugs and drug related harms, HIV and key populations, harm reduction, public health, law enforcement, human rights and drugs, women and drugs, sex work and drugs, stigma and the social context and drivers of drug use.
