The Regional Palliative Care Collaborative provides a comprehensive range of updates for clinicians and ancillary professionals who care for patients and their families with serious illnesses. Topics include the growing set of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments, supportive care, discussions about available options, and the mechanics of end-of-life care.
Current knowledge of this subject matter is essential to enable professionals to provide the best care to their patients. The Collaborative caters to a spectrum of providers with varying levels of expertise, providing everything from basic-level review of palliative care topics for those early in their careers, through state-of-the-science updates for experienced providers. Topics including Medical Aid in Dying, ketamine therapy, symptom management, advance directives and decision-making, support for the care team, community engagement initiatives, and more, will be explored in workshop groups.
Learning opportunities are designed both for those who practice across the age spectrum, from pediatric palliative care to adult-focused palliative care. Participants are encouraged to take practical, evidence-based techniques, theory, and practices back to their institutions to enhance their care of patients and families.
