Patients experience unnecessary pain and suffering during treatment of disease and at the end-of-life. Palliative Care Network addresses pain and suffering more effectively through education by providing a FREE, online, educational platform for palliative care professionals to remain abreast of palliative care trends.
Healthcare professionals lack appropriate training to care for patients as a "whole" and, in particular, fall short in skills to care for patients with diseases with poor prognosis. Quite often, patients receive poor end-of-life care, even in societies with technologically advanced healthcare. Ultimately, patients experience unnecessary pain and suffering during treatment of disease and at the end-of-life.
Palliative Care Network (PCN) aims to address pain and suffering more effectively through education. PCN provides a FREE, online, educational platform for palliative care professionals, worldwide. Registration on the website and access to materials remains free of charge allowing those who have limitations to remain abreast of palliative care trends. Expert interviews, lectures, presentations, posters, etc. are voluntarily shared on the PCN Community.
By educating a Palliative Care professional, he/she has the knowledge to provide quality end-of-life care and avoid patient pain & suffering. Ultimately, patients (worldwide) are comfortable during treatment of disease or end-of-life
