  1. José Pereira – 03/10/2015

    A considerable amount of thought and insight has gone into this courseware. It is superbly designed and touches on all the important areas and competencies for the target audience. Reflection and engagement are embedded in the program to make it an active and worthwhile learning experience.

  2. Ruth Richardson – 03/18/2015

    I am uplifted and empowered by the wholistic and reflective approach to learning that Kath Murray’s ‘Integrating a Palliative Approach: Essentials for Personal Support Workers’ text and workbook offers. It is wonderful to have a Canadian text for Personal Support Workers that provides tools, strategies and processes that promote best practices within the palliative approach of care. The graphics and attention to the practical details create a resource that is supportive, informative and inspiring for those who are caring for patients and families within the community. Kath’s insight into the needs of the care being offered by Personal Support Workers is to be commended. I will certainly use this resource at the college and for contract training for Personal Support Workers in the community.
    Thanks Kath for recognizing a need and attending to it with grace and care. I have no doubt that this educational resource will ultimately affect the quality and compassion of care at the bedside.
    That’s what it’s all about!

  3. Philip Larkin – 07/17/2015

    One of the most difficult things for educators is to deliver their topic to as wide an audience as possible in an easily understandable way. The need to develop palliative and hospice knowledge, skills and attitudes in all caregivers working across many sectors is so important today as chronic illness and an ageing populations grow. In Ireland, the FETAC module on palliative care provides essential learning for non-professional carers but finding a resource to support that learning was elusive – until now.

    ‘Integrating a Palliative Approach’ is an essential tool for students who need to understand how to work effectively with people at end-of-life. Beautifully crafted, with easy signposting and step-by-step key learning points, this book has proven invaluable in terms of supporting our Irish students to work effectively and feel confident in practice. It has become a core text for us and is a firm favorite with staff and students.
