Keeping you up to date on the latest palliative care literature

The Palliative Care Journal Watch is a regular series of webinars that keeps you up to date on the latest peer-reviewed palliative care Literature. This program is led by palliative care experts from the divisions of palliative care at McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) and Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario). 

Our team of contributors regularly monitors over 20 journals and highlight papers that have the potential to challenge us to think differently about a topic or confirm our current practices.
