We have so enjoyed presenting “Introduction to Hospice Palliative Care Workshop for Resident Care Assistants” in Victoria Jan 5,6, 2012, and “Introduction to Hospice Palliative Care Workshop for RCAs and LPNs” in Comox Jan 12,13, 2012. This week we go to Nanaimo for the final in the series of three workshops. We are looking forward to meeting another group of dedicated caregivers. We have enjoyed exploring with the participants ways in which we can integrate a palliative approach in long term care.
For those who requested, I am posting Elizabeth’s reading list below.
