Palliative care webinars for paramedics

Paramedics play an incredibly important role in providing a palliative approach to care in the community.

This community of practice from the Palliative Care ECHO Project brought together community and frontline paramedics and Emergency Medical Service professionals from across Canada who shared an interest in integrating a palliative care approach for patients and their families.

From October 2022 to July 2024, participants engaged with peers and an interprofessional panel of experts to discuss real-world cases and practical approaches to palliative care in paramedicine.

These recorded sessions remain a valuable resource for ongoing learning and reflection.
