Overview:
This series of 40-minute virtual presentations aim to share key messages learned from new Palliative Care initiatives in a variety of settings. These include urban emergency rooms, a rural hospice, a palliative outpatient clinic, vulnerable urban populations (including those with substance use disorders, unstable homing situations, and alternate gender identities), remote indigenous communities, and a “virtual PCU” in a community hospital. We will also have sessions on regional palliative care patient identification; starting a Nurse Practitioner service; and implementation of a COVID-19-adapted Serious Illness Conversation Guide.

Each presentation will last 20-25 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes of open discussion. Presenters are the multidisciplinary clinicians who led these initiatives.

We hope to see you this fall!  Until then, join the conversation:  #CPDPalliative
