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
