PACE Speaker Series returns with ‘Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care— Not Why, but When’ on Thursday, November 28 at 5:30PM
Join the Northumberland PACE Speakers Series team for their next virtual conversation, ‘Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care—Not Why, but When’ on Thursday, November 28 at 5:30 PM featuring guest speakers, Dr. Francesco Mulé, Head of Service for Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH)’s Division of Palliative and Supportive Care and Carolyn Wilson, NHH Clinical Nurse Specialist, Palliative Care. Taryn Rennicks, Executive Director of the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, will serve as the guest moderator.
Respected for his experience helping local patients and families navigate end-of-life care, pain and symptom management, Dr. Mulé works closely with patients, families, staff, and medical colleagues to further grow an interdisciplinary approach to the delivery of the palliative and end-of-life care in NHH’s Palliative Care Unit and, beyond that unit, throughout the hospital and the local community.
Carolyn Wilson recently joined NHH as a Clinical Nurse Specialist supporting the hospital’s Palliative Care Unit and inpatient services. In her role, Carolyn works collaboratively with palliative care physicians on the unit, acting as a resource for her colleagues, palliative patients, and their families.
During their virtual discussion, Dr. Mulé and Carolyn will explore the many unique aspects associated with palliative and end-of-life care, including available services and resources offered at NHH and west Northumberland.
As is standard within the PACE Talk format, questions from the audience are welcomed. For the November 2024 talk, these questions may be pre-submitted by emailing trennicks@chcnorthumberland.ca prior to November 28, 2024, or time permitting, posed live during the event itself.
Since 2018, the Northumberland PACE partners have been hosting free public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics and have consistently drawn large groups of community members with a variety of questions and perspectives.
Lasting an hour in length, each PACE talk consists of a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute question-and-answer period with the guest speaker(s) and a short moderator summary.
Bring your questions, your suggestions, and your experience and join in what is expected to be another informative discussion on a topic chosen by previous PACE attendees!
