Announcements
Announcing a New Resource for Palliative Care Workers around the World!
Palliative Care Network is designed to provide an Internet platform for palliative care professionals to teach, interact, and exchange ideas with fellow colleagues for the ultimate benefit of patients. Palliative Care Network volunteers facilitate the education of colleagues
throughout the world where palliative care education is deficient through the use of widely available internet technology.
Palliative care professionals are encouraged to submit contact information through www.palliativecarenetwork.com. It is here that they can be matched with colleagues who request assistance. The invitation to submit
information on the website is open to all palliative care disciplines.
