What's New with PCNIG?
Palliative Care Compass - Monthly Knowledge Share!
Based on feedback from our 2024 AGM, we now host the Palliative Care Compass! This is a monthly knowledge share where members can connect and discuss topics relevant to their work such as difficult cases, coping with the impact of the work, countertransference, Quality Improvement projects, supportive strategies, asking for advice, and so on.
Please answer the questions in this form to tells us the best dates and times for you, the best way to share information, and perhaps sign up to host one month.
On April 21st from 12–1:15 p.m. ET, we hosted a Palliative Care Knowledge Compass session called, “What’s in Your Recipe?” Approaches to Teaching Advance Care Planning to Groups and Individuals.
The panelists discussed diverse teaching approaches, identified key "ingredients" of effective ACP education, and shared practical tips and real world experiences.
Watch the recording of the session below.

Land Acknowledgement
RNAO’s work and the work of our members takes place on traditional Indigenous territories across Ontario. RNAO's home office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which is an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 under the Toronto Purchase Agreement with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Today, this land is still the home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this territory. By personally making a land acknowledgement you are taking part in an act of reconciliation, honouring the land and Indigenous heritage, which dates back more than 10,000 years. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on and the treaties that are attached to it. Land acknowledgements are an act of reconciliation and we must all do our part.
