I n f o r m a t i o n
The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Conference is the foremost national conference in Canada focusing on hospice palliative care. This event provides hospice palliative care professionals, volunteers, and family or informal caregivers with the opportunity to share their experience and expertise on a national platform.
Furthermore, throughout the four days of the conference you will learn about the important issues facing people who work with those who are dying, and you will hear experts in a number of fields, debate and discuss these issues and offer solutions. You will hear both consensus and controversy. You will leave with many answers, and perhaps some questions you hadn't thought of before.
Planning for the 2009 Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Conference is coordinated by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) in partnership with the Hospice Palliative Care Association of Manitoba (H&PCA).
