Sessions will be running from October 2024 to August 2025
Come be a part of the Palliative Care Heart Disease Community of Practice! Connect with colleagues from across Canada with a shared interest in integrating a palliative care approach for individuals with advanced heart failure.
This COP is ideal for interprofessional palliative care clinicians with an interest in heart disease and heart specialists with a passion for palliative care.
Members of this COP will have the opportunity to meet every 2 months 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).
Each session is accredited (this 1-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada for up to 6.0 Mainpro+ credits).
The first series for this Community of Practice wrapped up in April 2022. To view topics that were covered, session recordings, and accompanying slides, click here.
