The British Columbia Hospice Palliative Care Association (BCHPCA) is pleased to share an invitation from researchers at the University of Northern British Columbia to participate in a national study exploring educational strategies for hospice nursing staff across Canada.
The study, “Nursing Education in Hospice Settings in Canada: Leadership Perspectives on Implementation, Context, and Gaps,” is seeking input from hospice leaders who are involved in planning, supporting, delivering, or evaluating education for nursing staff within their organizations.
Researchers hope to gather insights on current educational approaches, as well as the factors that help or hinder the implementation of hospice nursing education. Findings from the study aim to identify strengths, challenges, and opportunities to support workforce development and strengthen hospice care education across Canada.
