Wednesday April 8th, 2020
12:30pm – 1:30pm PST
This webinar will introduce the audience to the hospice and palliative care (HPC) settings. It will specifically examine relevant considerations that should be made when caring for the HPC population, and how to apply important concepts described by the trajectories of death to inform care approaches. These considerations will be discussed in the context of a relevant pilot research study in HPC and the evidence that was gathered from it.
