ATTENTION - LEAP FACILITATORS/USERS (MARCH 2011) LEAP RENEWAL HERE



LEAP and LEAP Facilitators

Since 2002, the Pallium Project has nurtured a pan-Canadian network of academic health leaders and skilled community-practitioner champions with enhanced skills in palliative care services. Together these champions have collaborated in developing, testing, and refining an evidence- and normative-based modular courseware package. This courseware is informed by Canadian practice realities and called Learning Essential Approaches to Palliative and End-of-Life Care (LEAP).

LEAP has been informed by an ongoing dialogic collaboration among academic health and community-practice leaders. Each iteration integrates current evidence with an analyses of quality, competent practice in Canadian community settings at the primary-care .pdf (51 KB) and the regional resource leader .pdf (49 KB) levels. LEAP is part of a workplace learning approach that has been pioneered in Canada over the last decade .pdf (303 KB).

LEAP Version 1.1 is available in English and French languages in a 2-disk format (CHPCA Item 619E, 619F) and a full-color, 'off-the-shelf' Facilitator Kit (CHPCA Item 618E, 618F) at the CHPCA Marketplace.

Alberta HOPE Project has recently published two documents that may be helpful in other Canadian jurisdictions:

- Alberta HOPE Project - 2011 Final Report (with LEAP Eval) (.pdf, 2.25 MB)
- Alberta HOPE Project - LEAP workshop guide (to 2011)
(.pdf, 682 KB)

For facilitators and local leaders who have requested an interim tool to better explain LEAP to management teams and colleagues, we have published the Retreat Weekend Course segment of the Phase II participatory evaluation video as a stand alone segment below. You can also use the written transcript .pdf (159 KB) which explains the participatory evaluation methodology used for this component of Phase II evaluation. LEAP Courseware goals and evolution segments appear further down.


LEAP Coach video segments @ youtube
All segments on the LEAP Coach DVD have now been uploaded to the new PalliumCanada YouTube channel. A quick access guide to the final LEAP/LEAP Coach related video materials that are accessible via YouTube can be found here .pdf (118 KB).

V1.0 to V1.1 FACILITATOR KIT UPGRADE: LEAP V1.0 was released in April 2005. It was widely released throughout western Canada and to teams at Canada's 17 medical schools. It has come to our attention that not all persons or organizations who have V1.0 (April 2005) kits are working with V1.1 (April 2006) kit inserts. You can download the pages that you need. You may be asked for the Blackline Master Permission document on the LEAP Facilitator Kit CDR if you take these pages out-of-office to be color printed:

- LEAP V1.0 (April 2005) to LEAP V1.1 (April 2006) page change out .pdf (5.18 MB)
- LEAP V1.0 (April 2005) to LEAP V1.1 (April 2006) change comparison .pdf (72 KB)

From time-to-time we get requests for ready access to the Participant Workbooks contained on the LEAP V1.1 CDR. We are pleased to make those available here for those who wish to forward an FTP downloadable link to their local printing vendors. Please remember that you may be asked by your local printing vendor for the Blackline Master Permission document on the LEAP Facilitator Kit CDR, which extends local duplication rights of copyright material to LEAP license holders. Local program planners can also adapt a guide for planning LEAP courses in a retreat-based format .pdf (733 KB).

- LEAP (V1.1) Participant Workbook - 1 page/8.5"x11" standard .pdf (3 MB)

In 2009, we also introduced an enhancement to support those undergraduate health science students and other LEAP end-users who are seeking a more 'environmental friendly' and practical option to have their own LEAP module notes available 'on demand' on their own netbooks, notebooks, portable storage/media devices, etc. Forms fillable PDF versions of the LEAP modules are available below:
