McGill Palliative Care National Grand Rounds Programme

There is an urgent need for palliative care professionals to stay connected and up to date on the latest evidence.

Hosted by McGill Palliative Care, in partnership with the Palliative Care ECHO Project, the National Grand Rounds Programme will support and advance the field of Palliative Care by providing universal access to the latest research and treatment breakthroughs, the sharing of national and international work in palliative care, and strategies to address the most important challenges in the field.

The programme consists of 10 innovative lectures per year and is held in French and English and simultaneously online and in-person at sites with the Palliative Care McGill Network in Montreal, Quebec.
