About this Program

Delivery Method

Virtual or In person delivery dependent on facilitator and region.

Learning Essential Approaches to Palliative Care (LEAP) is a series of courses designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills to provide effective palliative care. These courses, developed by Pallium Canada, focus on communication, symptom management, ethical decision-making, and supporting patients and families facing life-limiting illnesses. LEAP courses are interprofessional, meaning they are relevant for various healthcare professionals, and are tailored to different care settings like long-term care.
