Psychosocial update from Austral +

November 14th, 2008 by Malcolm Payne


On my desk arrives (who knows how?) the Psycho-social Update from the Australian IPP-SHR, CQUniversity, Australia. They’re obviously fond of initials, a desperate search of the text reveals that CQ stands for Central Queensland. You can get this free from them: http://www.ipp-shr.cqu.edu.au/bookshop/?psu.They do lots of podcasts and other internetty things and have several publications on palliative care, although most of it seems to be about cancer. I’m struck by the review of a free online Austral-Asian Journal of Cancer. This obviously reflects the way in which Australasia nowadays sees itself (themselves?) as part of Asia, rather than separate.
