Join us for a four-part webinar series designed to equip nurses with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to deliver high-quality palliative care across all settings. From foundational principles to advanced symptom management and end-of-life support, this series explores the nurse’s pivotal role in caring for patients and families during some of life’s most critical moments.
Each session focuses on a key aspect of palliative care—early identification, pain and opioid management, dyspnea and distress, and the final days of life—offering evidence-based strategies, real-world examples, and actionable tools for clinical practice.
Whether you're new to palliative care or looking to deepen your expertise, this series will strengthen your ability to advocate, assess, comfort, and guide with compassion and skill.
