SUMMARY:The role of nurses in equity-oriented palliative care
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: CPCNA \nRegistration: \n\n\nFREE for Members \n\n\n$40 for non-Members \n\n\nThere is limited capacity so register early! \n\n\nCPCNA is pleased to present Dan Grover\, RN\, BN\, BSc  and Kelli Stajduhar\, RN\, PhD\, FCAHS\, FCAN who will be speaking to us on Wednesday\, June 16\, 2021 at 9-10am \nWhile increasingly recognized as a human right\, access to palliative care is still not a given. Even though palliative care as a concept seems to be unanimously supported\, it is still not readily available to all Canadians. Those who do benefit from palliative care services tend to also benefit from higher socio-economic status and family support\, as opposed to those people facing the end-of-life who also face inequities like homelessness\, poverty\, isolation\, racism\, and stigma. In our presentation\, we will discuss the key roles that nurses can play to facilitate equity-oriented palliative car\, in order to promote “palliative care for all” who need it in our communities. Lessons learned from our work in inner city mobile palliative care will be shared. \n  \nTo register click here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Guide Training Adaptations for Remote & Hybrid Work
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: Ariadne Labs \nJoin us to learn about three different models for adapting the Serious Illness Care Conversation Guide Training to meet the needs of remote and hybrid work environments.  As remote and hybrid work became more prevalent over the last year\, systems implementing the Serious Illness Care Program rapidly transitioned the in-person training\, consisting of didactic and skills practice sessions\, to fully- or partially-virtual modes of delivery.  In this webinar\, we will hear from Drs. Rachelle Bernacki\, Trish Ford\, and Seiko Izumi about each of their adaptations to the training\, and the pros and cons to each.  Additionally\, we’ll learn tips about how to plan your own virtual training from SICP CoP Ambassador\, Danielle Miltz\, with input from fellow Ambassadors\, Emma Penti\, Nancy Joyner\, and Lynn Aiksnoras. \nWe look forward to hearing your adaptations\, learnings\, and questions. \nTo register for this event click here

SUMMARY:CPCNA Town Hall: Rituals for Coping
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association \nThe general topic for this Town Hall will be about the Stresses and Successes of living with COVID-19 personally and professionally. \n\n\nRituals for Coping \nWe have just passed the one-year mark of living with COVID-19. Regardless of where we live in Canada\, we are all hoping for light at the end of the tunnel but we continue to be faced with the roller coaster that has become life.  Once again we face restrictions on day-to-day life. In the April Town Hall\, we reflected on you\, those who have attended the town halls\, those who are members\, and our nursing colleagues across the country.  We extend our thoughts\, our care\, our concern. In some ways\, this coming month might be one of the most frustrating experiences as we hope for vaccinations to do their job and as we hope for better days. \nWe know that during the past year\, we have all floundered at time as we developed ways of coping to get through difficult moments\, difficult situations and made difficult decisions. In our next town hall\, Michelle O’ Rourke RN and Kath Murray RN will lead a discussion about rituals\, and how rituals can help us in difficult times. You are invited to bring a small candle to light as part of a ritual that we will develop together. \nTo register click here

SUMMARY:Can we talk? How a shared language of care can promote a palliative approach to heart failure
DESCRIPTION:Event Hosted by: Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association (CPCNA) \nEvent cost: Free to members\, $40 to non-members \n\n\n\n\nHow can a patient with advancing heart failure (HF) experience care that alleviates suffering and helps them to live their best life? While some progress has been made to integrate a palliative approach to the care of these patients and their families\, challenges exist in bridging the two distinct care cultures of HF and Palliative Care. Essential to this important practice shift is the effective communication between health care providers\, patients and their family caregivers. This presentation will explore how the Heart Failure Palliative Approach to Care (HeFPAC) was designed to build capacity for care through a shared language that fosters communication about priority issues that commonly arise in advanced HF. \n\nPresenter Bio: \n\n\n\n\nPatricia Strachan RN MSc PhD is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at McMaster University. She is Chair of the Canadian Association Schools of Nursing Palliative and End-of-Life Care Interest Group and Co-Chair of the Healthcare Communication in Nursing Special Interest Group for the European Association for Communication in Healthcare. A passionate and innovative nurse educator\, Patricia draws from the arts and philosophy to engage learners in imagining the possibilities for nursing. \nTo register click here

SUMMARY:Part 2: Learn How to Facilitate Well-Being Debriefings within Your Organization
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a stunning toll on the emotional well-being of health care workers. Many of us are looking for proven strategies to mitigate the natural stress\, empathy strain\, and moral distress that we are experiencing. \nPeer-facilitated well-being debriefings are an evidence-based way to provide support to health care workers; they increase social support\, decrease feelings of isolation\, and provide opportunities to learn from each other about coping with difficult issues. The result: positive impact on well-being\, personal resiliency\, improved patient care\, and reduced feelings of burnout. \nIn this two-part webinar series\, Vickie Leff\, LCSW\, will train attendees to be peer facilitators for well-being debriefings\, providing the skills needed to bring this technique to their organizations. In part one\, attendees learned the benefit of peer-facilitated well-being debriefings; the format of these conversations; how to secure buy-in from leadership; and more. In part two\, Vickie will review the techniques previously learned\, and then provide attendees with an opportunity to hone their newly-acquired skills.

SUMMARY:Families matter: BCCPA’s free webinar to address grief and loss over COVID care home restrictions
DESCRIPTION:Event hosted by: BC Care Providers Association \nOn March 2\, 2021\, Dr. Henry indicated that the province was looking to reallow family visits in long-term care and assisted living as early as the end of this month. From the perspective of the BC Care Providers Association\, this news is heartening\, as the association has been advocating to reinstate family visits for many months. \nThere are many things to consider as our members look towards welcoming family caregivers back into long-term care and assisted living homes. Particularly\, it is likely that upon being reunited with residents\, some family members will experience feelings of grief and loss. In many cases\, these emotions will be triggered by the physical and cognitive changes they notice after being apart from their family members for such a long period of time. \nWith guests from the Alzheimer Society of B.C.\, the Family Caregivers of B.C.\, and the Vancouver Island Association of Family Councils\, this webinar will provide an overview of the support services which long-term care and assisted living staff can draw on to support family caregivers. \nWhile this webinar will be geared toward long-term care and assisted living providers\, all are welcome to attend this free event. \nModerator:\nMike Klassen\, VP Public Affairs\, BC Care Providers Association\n\nPanelists:\nSarah Eveneshen\, Provincial Coordinator\, Program Development\, Alzheimer Society of B.C.\nBarb Mclean\, CEO\, Family Caregivers of BC\nKim Slater\, Vancouver Island Association of Family Councils \nTo register click here
