A Dream Come True... ?

For our founder Kath Murray, addressing the education needs of personal support workers has been the focus of her palliative care career.

"How can we reach PSWs who cannot access face to face education? How can we support workplace educators who cannot provide face to face education and/or who cannot free up staff to attend face to face education?"

It is with a heart full of gratitude– to PSWs everywhere, to CHPCA and HPCO for their hard work on this collaboration, and to every member contributing to the palliative care community, that we are proud to announce the PACE for PSWs program is officially open for registration.
