Updated to address current challenges in providing palliative care and integrating a palliative approach, the Revised Workbook is tailor-made to support students and Instructors.

Learners develop skills and knowledge in providing compassionate, culturally safe, palliative, and end-of-life care when answering questions, responding to reflective activities and participating in group discussions and projects.

• Role-plays
• Psychosocial exercises
