In 2016, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust initiated the Jockey Club End-of-Life Community Care Project (“JCECC”), aimed at enhancing the end-of-life care in Hong Kong to improve the quality of life of older people with terminal illness. The project involves multi-level of intervention through capacity building for the public, patients and family members, social care professionals and health care professionals, direct service delivery of care in viable community-based service models and rigorous evaluation of the outcomes and impacts of the capacity building and direct care.
The JCECC International Conference 2021 aims to bring together practitioners, researchers, scholars and policy makers worldwide to discuss the future directions of end-of-life service development from public health perspectives, and share best practices and innovations in promoting sustainability and quality of care at the end of life. The conference also provides an opportunity to review the achievements of the concerted efforts of JCECC and our partners in the past six years.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the JCECC International Conference 2021 will be held in virtual format.
