Isn’t it time that we looked at palliative care as an integral part of the care process?
We’re on a mission to develop and deliver resources to increase the capacity of the individual to provide excellent care for the dying and the bereaved.
A palliative approach can be integrated into care by all care providers in acute, emergency, long-term, and home care settings. A palliative approach does not need to be provided by specialists. The inclusion of a palliative approach across all settings means that all the dying, not just a minority of them, can benefit from the principles of hospice palliative care.
Since 2005 we have been developing and delivering palliative care education, resources and materials.
From textbooks and workbooks to a complete podcast library and complimentary teaching resources, we strive to help students to learn, and instructors to teach, palliative care principles.

PAM MALLOY, RN, MN, FPCN, FAAN, Director and Co-Investigator of the ELNEC Project American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
“This will soon become the “go to guide” for those seeking direction in how to embed palliative approaches into their practice”
KELLI STADJUHAR, Professor, School of Nursing and Centre on Aging; Associate Director, Research and Scholarship
"Each section [of the nurses text] was short enough to digest in only a couple of minutes. The bullets made it easy to get the main points quickly....the right balance between technical information and the practical.... obviously, the advice of someone who had been there and done that and was willing to be honest about the difficulties and the unknowns."
Dr. Antionette Oberg, Associate Professor and Graduate Advisor, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Victoria
"Katherine Murray's Integrating a Palliative Approach; Essentials for Personal Support Workers will be an essential and invaluable tool for personal service workers and their supervisors. It is full of useful--needed information covering every aspect of the dying process. It has a wonderful sensitivity to all involved in the dying process--patients, family members, children -- and, of course, PSWs. And it is all presented in a clear and readable style."
Kenneth J.Doka, PhD, Professor, The College of New Rochelle and Senior Consultant, The Hospice Foundation of America
"I have never seen anything like this [PSW] book before. I really found the book unique in that it is written from the viewpoint of an experienced palliative care nurse educator who understands the real challenges of providing quality end of life care, specifically by various non-medical, or non-licensed caregivers."
