This year's Hospice Education Days event promises to be a unique and informative experience focusing on the specific needs of Northern Hospice Collaborative and the communities they support. The two-day in-person event will feature various engaging sessions and workshops addressing the challenges and opportunities of delivering hospice care in northern regions. We have curated a program centred around the theme of "Northern Hospice Collaborative - Strength in Coming Together."

Topics such as multicultural competency to support end-of-life care, community outreach, and the practicality of virtual grief support will be covered in depth, providing attendees with practical tools and insights to serve the hospice and palliative care communities better. Additionally, the event will offer opportunities for networking and collaboration with allied professionals and community members. Through networking, individuals can share knowledge, best practices, and insights that can help improve the quality of care provided to patients and their families.

It is our responsibility as hospice care providers to recognize and respond to the unique needs of each community we serve. In participating in this event, attendees will learn effective strategies for providing high-quality care that is respectful, responsive, and culturally appropriate while understanding the cultural nuances and challenges involved.
