THE campaign theme for this year’s National Palliative Care week, 11 to 17 May, is 'What’s your plan?'

It encourages open conversations about end-of-life decisions.

It’s a direct approach for Australians and their loved ones to talk about what matters most at the end of life and to make a plan that empowers and respects their choices during the last years, months and days.

To raise awareness about this important issue, the Northeast Health Wangaratta Community Palliative care team will have a number of screenings of the highly acclaimed film, ‘Live the Life You Please’.

The film is about living and dying in Australia and explores the nature of palliative care through a series of personal stories.

It might change the way you think about the last chapter of life.

Screenings dates and times include:

* Wednesday, 14 May at 10.30am at the Bright Senior Citizens Club;

* Thursday, 15 May at 3.30pm at NHW Melbourne teaching learning Centre; and

* Friday, 16 May at the Wangaratta Library Community Room.

If you would like to attend a screening of the film please call the NHW Palliative Care team on 03 5722 5184.

This is a free event.
