As … clinicians\, we need to lead by example and demonstrate our understanding of the situation.” \nSource COVID-19 and Australian Specialist Palliative Care\, Opinion Piece 1: Playing our part: the importance of practicing compassionate care for all. \nCommitment to Participate \nAs a participant we ask that you attend all of the workshops\, undertake 15 mins of home practice daily and have a quiet space with a good internet connection.
