For many palliative care service providers on the continent, travel to international palliative care conferences isn’t always feasible financially. Even so, plugging into social media platforms provides ample opportunity to stay abreast of global developments within a specialised area of palliative care interest. All – for free.
Following a hashtag on Twitter allows anyone to engage in various conference sessions in real time, voicing questions to participants, presenters and gleaning an overview of conference highlights.
