Palliative care webinars for Personal Support Workers
This community of practice from the Palliative Care ECHO Project is for personal support workers and care aides interested in connecting with peers in sessions facilitated by practice coaches. Participants had opportunities to bring knowledge to action in quality palliative care delivery, skill building through case-based discussions, shared experience, practice pearls, gold standard tools, breakout rooms, role play and more.
These recorded sessions remain a valuable resource for ongoing learning and reflection.
