Isn’t it time that we looked at palliative care as an integral part of the care process?
We’re on a mission to develop and deliver resources to increase the capacity of the individual to provide excellent care for the dying and the bereaved.
A palliative approach can be integrated into care by all care providers in acute, emergency, long-term, and home care settings. A palliative approach does not need to be provided by specialists. The inclusion of a palliative approach across all settings means that all the dying, not just a minority of them, can benefit from the principles of hospice palliative care.
Since 2005 we have been developing and delivering palliative care education, resources and materials.
From textbooks and workbooks to a complete podcast library and complimentary teaching resources, we strive to help students to learn, and instructors to teach, palliative care principles.
What others in the industry are saying about resources for nurses and Personal Support Workers
“This will soon become the “go to guide” for those seeking direction in how to embed palliative approaches into their practice”
KELLI STADJUHAR, Professor, School of Nursing and Centre on Aging; Associate Director, Research and Scholarship
"Each section [of the nurses text] was short enough to digest in only a couple of minutes. The bullets made it easy to get the main points quickly....the right balance between technical information and the practical.... obviously, the advice of someone who had been there and done that and was willing to be honest about the difficulties and the unknowns."
Dr. Antionette Oberg, Associate Professor and Graduate Advisor, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Victoria
"I have never seen anything like this [PSW] book before. I really found the book unique in that it is written from the viewpoint of an experienced palliative care nurse educator who understands the real challenges of providing quality end of life care, specifically by various non-medical, or non-licensed caregivers."

"Katherine Murray's Integrating a Palliative Approach; Essentials for Personal Support Workers will be an essential and invaluable tool for personal service workers and their supervisors. It is full of useful--needed information covering every aspect of the dying process. It has a wonderful sensitivity to all involved in the dying process--patients, family members, children -- and, of course, PSWs. And it is all presented in a clear and readable style."
Kenneth J.Doka, PhD, Professor, The College of New Rochelle and Senior Consultant, The Hospice Foundation of America
"Kath Murray has created an invaluable educational resource for PSWs that addresses their key learning needs for providing residents’ physical comfort and meeting the psychological and social needs of residents and their families."

"Reading this textbook has made me so proud of what I do full time. There is a great need to educate Personal Support Workers in the area of Palliative and End of Life Care. I found working with people that were dying soon became a passion for me. I found it fit with my philosophy of care for the people I worked with in the community and when I started working in Long Term Care."
