Palliative Care Awards 2011
The Palliative Care Council South Australia are thrilled to have received twenty seven nominations across six various categories for the 2011 Palliative Care Awards. Only the second time these awards have been held, they provide the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the outstanding contribution to Palliative Care in South Australia made by members of our communities in supporting and caring for dying South Australians, their carers, families, friends and co workers.
The independent judging panel said the quality and calibre of nominations was so high, it was a difficult task to decide between equally deserving contributions and they would like to commend all nominees for their dedication, care and concern for some of our community’s most vulnerable people.
Chairman of Palliative Care Council South Australia, Dr Mary Brooksbank said “palliative care work, paid or voluntary involves a dedication and tenacity of purpose not often matched in other vocations; often working in an emotionally charged environment, it demands not only time and extensive skill but also the commitment of heart and soul. These people who have been nominated are obviously held in extremely high regard by those who have been the recipient of their care, and it is clear that our communities are better off because of them.
All twenty seven nominations have now been assessed by the independent judging panel and we have great pleasure in announcing the shortlisted candidates for each category:
Innovation in Palliative Care Award:
Unsung Hero Award:
Caregiver Award:
Aged Care Award:
Best Palliative Care Story Award:
Outstanding Philanthropist Award:
The winners will be announced on 5th October at Government House, at a Reception hosted by Patron Mrs Liz Scarce, and His Excellency, Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AC CSC RANR, Governor of South Australia.
