West Region Virtual Palliative Care Education Day

Date

April 11th, 2024 from 8:30-1pm

Please join Palliative Pain and Symptom Management Consultation Program, Southwestern Ontario, together with local palliative care physicians for our inaugural West Region Virtual Palliative Care Education Day.

The purpose of the education day is to engage primary level health care providers and deliver evidence-based tools and resources to advance the care of patients and their families with serious illness and palliative care needs.

Participants will gain strategies and tools for identifying patients who require palliative care, how to have essential conversations and a symptom management pocket reference guide for managing the most common symptoms experienced by patients.

Who Should Attend:

The target audience is Primary Care Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. However, we can encourage all Primary Care interdisciplinary team members to attend as a palliative approach to care is best achieved as a team.

Overall Objectives:

Recognize patients who would benefit from serious illness conversations and palliative care through standardized assessments and clinical criteria.
Conduct compassionate and patient-centered serious illness conversations, eliciting and respecting patient values, goals, and preferences for care.
Implement primary palliative care, including symptom management, pain control, and psychological support, collaborating with specialist palliative care teams and creating care plans aligned with patient goals and values.
