Symptom Management for Patients with Late Stage HF, COPD, Renal Failure or Liver Failure


Event Details


Information

With a focus on palliative care for your non-cancer patients, attendees will participate in rotating small table case study discussions with specialists from cardiology, nephrology, respirology, hepatology and palliative care to:

 

  • Enhance medical management for seriously ill patients with non-cancer illness
  • Learn how to strategize discussing serious illness with patients who don’t want to talk about it within the confines of family practice
  • Learn how to reduce the use of non-beneficial medical care near death and support the patient and family as they transition

RSVPs are required for this session and spaces will be limited. Please reply by June 1st to Leslie Nerheim at 250-519-3050 or forums@viha.ca to reserve your spot and dinner.
