Social Networks: The National Newsletter of the Palliative Care & Public Health Network

Social Networks is the national newsletter of an emerging national palliative care and public health network. Its purpose is to:

• promote discussion
• to stimulate ideas about public health initiatives in palliative care
• to resource, support and equip those working at the interface between palliative care and public health

The newsletter includes summaries of practice principles; reports of current projects from palliative care and public health services; news about grants and research possibilities; book reviews; information about relevant conferences and journal articles; and letters to the editor. The newsletter will be of interest to palliative care practitioners who want to develop links with their local community and community-based health care practitioners wishing to explore the implications of disability, death and loss for their work. Those working in both palliative care and community health settings will find the newsletter a significant resource.

Social Networks is published in March, July and November each year. An annual subscription is $15 to cover production costs, and entitles the reader to a hard copy of each issue for that year.
