| What You Will Learn Participants will build their skills and confidence to:
- Introduce the palliative approach to care early in the illness trajectory, ideally from the time of diagnosis through to the bereavement period
- Practice how to communicate effectively with patients and families facing serious illness including taking a trauma informed approach to care
- Understand and contribute to the interprofessional team
- Reflect on the loss and grief experienced by patients, caregivers, and health/social care providers throughout the illness trajectory
- Become familiar with common palliative care tools i.e. Palliative Performance Scale (PPS), Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS), etc.
How You Will Learn We believe palliative care is best learned through collaboration, reflection, and practice.
- Facilitated by experienced palliative care nurse mentors
- Interactive, discussion-based sessions, not just passive online modules
- Case-based learning to apply concepts to real clinical situations
- Delivered over 6 weeks, allowing time to integrate learning into practice
Participants consistently highlight the value of learning from colleagues in different roles and care environments, including primary care, long-term care, community care, and acute care.
Why It Matters When providers feel confident and supported, everyone has better outcomes. This course equips you with the skills to provide a compassionate, coordinated, and high-quality palliative approach to care no matter your role setting.
