Christine Denton, Personal Care Worker: It is super beneficial for us as aged care workers to undertake palliative care training.

Tennessee Batty, Personal Care Worker: To be a part of it is beautiful, it really is. I was with the man holding his hand as he died and I walked out of there with a smile on my face because I knew that I was able to be with him at the end of his life.

Christine Denton, Personal Care Worker: Palliative care training helps us with our professional development, it helps us with our confidence and it really just supports us in providing the best care possible for those that are so vulnerable as they approach their end of life.

Tennessee Batty, Personal Care Worker: All personal care workers, like yourself, access palliative care training. It will help us be able to give our residents, patients, clients better care.
