Life and Death Matters Information

Life & Death Matters is on a mission to deliver comprehensive resources, training, and support for healthcare workers and individuals providing care for the dying and bereaved. A palliative approach can be integrated into care by all care providers in acute, emergency, long-term, and home care settings. A palliative approach does not need to be provided by specialists. The inclusion of a palliative approach across all settings means that all the dying, not just a minority of them, can benefit from the principles of hospice palliative care. Since 2005 we have been providing palliative care education, resources and materials to over 150 colleges and organizations worldwide. As an educator, in addition to developing and delivering workshops on Hospice Palliative Care, I assist colleges to integrate Hospice Palliative End of Life Care in core curriculum for Practical Nurse and Health Care Assistant programs.
