- How to get your head around a diagnosis
- Managing symptoms and fears around dying
- Planning what one can in the face of uncertainty
This conversation is scheduled on Zoom on Thursday the 5th of November at 7pm.

Dr David Brumley is a palliative care care specialist doctor. He spent most of his working life in Ballarat, initially in General Practice.
He was one of a team who developed a home care service called Ballarat Hospice Care, and later an inpatient palliative care ward called Gandarra.
He was the first Medical Director of the Grampians Regional Palliative Care Team, with the responsibility to travel in the Grampians Region (Bacchus Marsh to the Border) to support GPs and nurses, and also to provide palliative care support to the hospitals in that region.
He and his wife Linda moved to Queenscliff 6 years ago, and he has continued to work for Bellarine Community Health and to consult at St John of God Hospital and Epworth. Other than work he finds great enjoyment in vegetable gardening, paddling his kayak, reading and music.
