Hospice Palliative Care Practice Resources

Canadians expect those serving the seriously-ill and dying to incorporate current evidence and provide safe, effective, compassionate, and ethical services that are responsive to local needs.

Pallium has evolved an approach to practice change management and service delivery that uses workplace learning and knowledge translation in practical ways so new insights and 'know how' can be integrated into daily work.

Using a dialogic approach, academic health leaders work closely with skilled community-based practice leaders to develop novel, pragmatic, and evidence-informed education resources and decision-support tools. Many are available below or through the CHPCA Marketplace.
