SUMMARY:Palliative Care Education and Research Conference
DESCRIPTION:Ensuring that the needs and wishes of each person with a life-limiting illness and their family are understood.​ Learn about palliative care needs and enhance your knowledge of the practical aspects of palliative and end-of-life care. \nExplore current trends\, issues and research with our invited guest experts and your colleagues. \nTopic areas include: \n\nBack to Basics: Symptom management\, direct clinical care\nEmerging Issues & Trends: Innovations and research in palliative and end of life care\nChallenging clinical care needs for palliative and end of life patients and their families\nPsychosocial/Spiritual & Wellness\n\nSupporting patients and their families throughout their illness trajectory may be challenging. \nCaring for those at the end of life is both challenging and rewarding work. \nJoin us as we explore what it means to be caregivers – both professionally and personally – and how we can approach this willing task\, not only for the health and wellbeing of those we care for\, but for ourselves. \nThrough trust\, knowledge\, communication\, compassionate care and awareness of social\, cultural and individual factors\, health care providers can facilitate an environment that respects\, responds\, values and embraces diversity and individual preferences. Caregiver awareness and understanding of various social determinants of health (including race\, ethnicity\, religion\, socio-economic status\, sexual orientation\, gender identity and other factors affecting the person) will both impact and influence patient-provider interactions\, clinical decision making and individual interpretations of life\, death\, dying and bereavement. \nWe hope that you will take the opportunity to attend in October and get involved in discussions and learnings across a range of topics\, during keynote presentations and breakout sessions. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:TI Best Evidence Webinar: Pharmacist-led deprescribing of tramadol in long-term care
DESCRIPTION:WHERE: free online webinar. After you register you will receive a confirmation email which will include the connection details. \nREGISTRATION: click here. \nAbout the topic: In this TI Best Evidence webinar\, Hafeez Dossa will describe his experience with a pharmacist-led intervention in a long-term care setting\, which can dramatically reduce the inappropriate use of medications. Bottom line: while making changes that improve or don’t affect patient outcomes\, deprescribing can also reduce drug costs\, pharmacy dispensing\, and nursing workload. \n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES (by the end of this session\, participants will be able to): \n\nestablish patterns of use of potentially inappropriate medication and identify opportunities for deprescribing;\ncommunicate with other team members a recommendation to continue\, adjust\, or stop the medication;\nsupport changes and monitor for benefits\, harms\, and durability of these changes.\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Hafeez Dossa\, BSc is a pharmacist\, managing a pharmacy that supports ~2\,000 patients who live in long term care (LTC) and Assisted Living (AL) facilities across Vancouver Island. He is passionate about optimizing medication management\, and spearheaded a deprescribing initiative in 2020 that resulted in safe deprescribing of PPIs in 50% of those taking them. Following that\, he completed a 9-month quality improvement intervention for all LTC patients supported by his pharmacy who were taking tramadol.

SUMMARY:Experiencing life-limiting illness behind bars ECHO
DESCRIPTION:Complex socio-political causes continue to increase the carceral population locally and globally\, with more individuals aging and dying in prisons. Despite international recognition of the importance of palliative care as a shared universal right\, a health equity gap exists between the general and carceral populations in Canada. With growing numbers of aging people in custody and their disproportionate risk of adverse health outcomes\, it is crucial to understand what care services are available to those diagnosed with life-limiting illnesses and\, for those who are dying\, to understand how their palliative care needs are met. Currently\, little is known from a Canadian perspective about how individuals in custody or under supervision in the community receive care when diagnosed with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses. \nPresenter:\nMar’yana Fisher\, RN\, MNS\, PhD student\nPalliative Nurse Clinician \nThe intended audience for this session is healthcare providers. \nREGISTER HERE
