Palliative Care Video

This video is an introduction to palliative care for the general public and healthcare providers who have no education or experience in palliative care. It reviews the latest evidence supporting the use of palliative care in all serious illness. The video aims to dispel myths about palliative care and inform people about how palliative care can be beneficial throughout a serious illness. The second half of the 40 minute video focuses on the rights of patients around decision-making in serious illness and the general structure of health care decision-making in British Columbia.
