Continuous palliative care learning for heart disease professionals
This community of practice from the Palliative Care ECHO Project connected colleagues from across Canada with a shared interest in integrating a palliative care approach for individuals with advanced heart failure.
Over the course of three series, which ran from January 2022 to August 2025, participants had the opportunity to meet with a panel of experts in the field to engage in case discussions and explore topics such as symptom management and models of care (including home care, hospice, and palliative care units).
These resources are ideal for interprofessional palliative care clinicians with an interest in heart disease and heart specialists with a passion for palliative care. They remain a valuable resource for ongoing learning and reflection.
