Past Activities
Where to bid farewell?
| Date & Time: | 2020/11/28(Saturday) 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | Parents will choose the place of birth for the unborn child, which hospital, which area. Many people may move or even immigrate for the child. You can't choose where you were born. Can you choose where to die? This talk is to discuss the practical problems encountered during the implementation and to share some feasible suggestions. |
A dialogue on end of life care
| Date & Time: | 2020/10/24 (Saturday) 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library (Lecture Theatre, G/F) |
| Description: | When death knocks on the door unknowingly, we can't avoid it. How can we openly talk about life and death with our family members? How can healthcare professionals attempt the dialogue and talk with patients and their families about advance care planning and the departure? Let’s explore together. |
Dying well priorities of different stages in life
| Date & Time: | 10 October 2020 (Saturday) 3:00p.m. (video available for viewing) |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library |
| Description: | Have you ever wondered what is the best way to spend the last days of your life journey? While you can still decide for yourself, do you want to think about how to prepare? We have invited professionals to discuss with you the preparation for the end of life at different stages of life. |
Symposium on “How to address the elephant in the room?”
| Date & Time: | 5 September 2020 (Saturday) 3:00p.m. (video available for viewing) |
| Venue: | Hong Kong Central Library |
| Description: | "Everyone dies once." Dying should be like our other moments of living. It should be free from pain and fear. It should be comfortable, and with our loved ones as needed. But people always treat death and dying as taboo. At this symposium, we have invited a specialist doctor, a philosophy scholar, a family member and a nurse consultant to discuss how to talk about "death" with the loved ones, friends and patients. |
