Home Palliative Care Mentorship Program
Thanks to a major donation from Croix Bleue du Québec®, in 2019 Nova Home Care was able to develop a free training program accredited by the Faculty of Nursing of the Université de Montréal. The training is now available to all homecare nurses in Quebec.
The goal remains to contribute to the health and well-being of communities across the province, and to improve the quality of life of those in need.
More and more people at the end of life are expressing the wish to live out their final moments at home. To ensure that they receive quality care and services, it is important that healthcare professionals provide palliative care adapted to the homecare setting.
Nova Home Care is privileged to continue this training program, which is fully supported by our organization.
It is directed by Dominique Gohier, Clinical Director of Nova Home Care. The highlights of the program are:
- Theoretical training delivered in CLSCs or by videoconference;
- Clinical mentoring for nurses who wish to accompany Nova Home Care nurses on home visits;
- Remote telephone mentoring for complex palliative care issues.
Thanks to this program, Nova Home Care will enable more people at the end of life to receive care and services that meet their needs, in the environment of their choice.
Nova Home Care is pleased to offer the Home Palliative Care Mentorship Program. Unique in Quebec, this free, accredited training program enables nurses and healthcare professionals to improve their knowledge and skills in palliative care.
