The wonderful Wicking Trust extends support for palliative care 

The Wicking Trust has slung La Trobe U’s Palliative Care Unit $1.5m for work on public health approaches to care. It’s part of the trust’s support for research on wellness and quality of life in old age. Wicking is well known for supporting dementia research and information programmes from the University of Tasmania centre named for it – including its two MOOCs, on understanding and dealing with the disease.
