Northwestern Ontario Palliative Care Booster Conference

Student registration discounts are available!!

The Palliative Care Booster Conference brings together health and social care providers, volunteers, students, educators, community partners, and leaders to strengthen knowledge, skills, and connections in palliative care.

This one-day hybrid conference will offer practical learning, meaningful discussion, and opportunities to reflect on how we can continue improving palliative care across care settings and communities.

Our theme this year The Common Thread: Weaving a Palliative Approach Across Care Settings emphasizes that a palliative approach to care may be provided in any setting. As individuals and families move between care settings throughout their journey, these transitions and ‘forks in the road’ can present challenges to continuity of care.

Opening speaker, Dr. Erin Gallagher, will set the stage with her keynote presentation “Dying is Forking Hard: Supporting a Palliative Approach Across Care Settings.”

Participants may attend virtually or in person at the Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre in Thunder Bay.
