Palliative Care Network has numerous projects including: interviews, pharmacology handouts, books, etc that are distributed throughout the year to participants with the goal of collaboration amongst professionals and empowering palliative care professionals with knowledge for free.
Justin Kullgrem, PharmD, CPE contributed Symptomatic uses of Octreotide in Palliative and Hospice Care to the “Pharmacology in Palliative Care” project. The handout provides the scientific and practical basis of successful drug therapy. The pharmacology had a significant number of downloads and was well received.
In addition, Professor Professor Fusun Terzioglu RN, Msc, PhD shared in an interview Palliative Care in Turkey that the need for palliative care has never been greater and is increasing rapidly because of Turkey’s aging population and the increasing incidence of cancer. She further elaborated in her interview about her program, the role of nursing, and challenges faced in Turkey. These interviews allow participants to gain exposure to palliative care programs around the world.
These are examples of successful programs that are supported by individual and organizational funds which help us attain our goal.
