Palliative Care Consultants Network: Palliative Pain and Symptom Management Consultants provide secondary-level hospice palliative care expertise through consultation, coordination, collaboration, facilitation, education, skill development, research and evaluation, at local, regional, provincial and national levels. The PPSMC’s assist service providers in the application of best practice tools in assessments and guidelines for palliative care.

They can:

  1. Offer consultation to service providers in-person, by telephone, by video conference or through email regarding care i.e. assessment and management of pain and other symptoms;
  2. Provide case-based education and mentoring for service providers;
  3. Help build capacity and competency among front-line service providers in the delivery of palliative care;
  4. Link service providers with specialized hospice and palliative care resources.
