Palliative Care ECHO is a series of interactive virtual mentoring sessions via Zoom that addresses a range of palliative care topics. It aims to increase palliative care knowledge, skills and confidence in primary care health professionals.
Each monthly session includes:
- A palliative care specialist presentation – ten minute talk on the topic of the month
- A deidentified case presentation by a primary care professional (do you have a case you’d like to share? Click here)
- Lots of opportunities for Q&A and discussion
