Care NetworkPCIEF Palliative Care Interdisciplinary Education Funding
Near North Palliative Care Network (Nipissing/Parry Sound) was invested by the NE LHIN on January 11th, 2019, as the PCIEF sponsoring agency, with the responsibility “to act as the planner and administrator for the Palliative Care Interdisciplinary Education Funding for the Nipissing Sub-Region, including the annual Palliative Care Conference.”
The funding allows NNPCN “to work with palliative health care partners to build capacity in local facility and community settings, enhance an interdisciplinary team approach to care in the community, and help shift the care of persons in the last stages of their life to their setting of choice.”
This service provides education to front line health care providers. The education plan may include but is not limited to one-day (i.e., 6-hour) courses, refresher days, mentoring programs and videoconference options. The courses will use a variety of instructional methods, including coaching, course presentation and distance learning.
The PCIEF Nipissing Sub-Region is committed to the continuous delivery of high-quality Palliative Care Education to healthcare services providers in our area.
