Preparing Paramedics: Palliative Care - Cheryl Cameron Tyne Lunn
Manage episode 362081487 series 2943344
Paramedics receive little education on grief and bereavement. As paramedicine integrates palliative approaches to care, it has become very apparent paramedics are under-prepared for the crucial role they play in supporting patients and families in grief and recognizing and responding to their own grief reactions.
· MyGriefToolbox as one strategy and tool to address gaps in education/supports for paramedics
· Scale and spread of this approach across Canada
· Importance of person, family and caregiver centered approach
· Psychosocial support, system navigation, and compassion can be provided by all levels of paramedics
· De-bunking some myths about providing palliative care
They’ll introduce us to MyGriefToolbox, a set of free resources that have been developed in collaboration with Canadian Virtual Hospice to support paramedics as we provide a palliative care approach and psychosocial support to grieving individuals, families, and caregivers.
