Palliative Care consultations are available from a palliative care nurse consultant who acts as a resource to assist staff in the interpretation and application of The Model to Guide Hospice Palliative Care, best practice guidelines and assessment tools. The services provided include telephone and on-site consultation for care providers, problem based education, training and mentorship for front-line staff, and information on current, research based best practice guidelines related to palliative care and linkages to other palliative care resources.
There are also Palliative Care Teams located throughout Halton and Peel. These multidisciplinary teams support the care provided to people living with life-limiting illness and their families.
