Using a gentle weave of Beverley Johnston’s vibraphone, glockenspiel, cymbal, windchimes and bells with Bev Foster’s piano and voice, Hugs & Kisses will touch the hearts of children.

As health care technologies improve and people with many complex diseases live longer, advance care planning is becoming increasingly important. There is considerable evidence that advance care planning is poorly done, often happening only at the very end of life when crises occur, when life-sustaining treatments have been instituted despite issues of poor prognosis, and when patients are not capable of making decisions about the care they want. The Public Information and Advocacy Work Group of the Canadian Strategy on Palliative and End of Life Care recognized that health care professionals need better education in ACP. The Work Group’s concern led to the development of this interprofessional educational program for health care providers. The program is intended for use at all levels—undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development. With funding from Health Canada, Educating Future Physicians in Palliative and End of Life Care (EFPPEC) led the development of this program. EFPPEC created a Working Group, aided by a larger group of Editorial Advisors, to develop a learning module on ACP that is applicable across Canada to health care professionals across the range of disciplines. The module has an accompanying Facilitator’s Guide, which describes a variety of teaching methods, contains cases to stimulate discussion, and guides teachers on how best to present the material. The preferred delivery method for this module is a small group teaching environment that allows for discussion. The module is available on-line, but the on-line version is not meant to replace face-to- face teaching. This module builds on the excellent work that has already been done at the provincial/territorial level and in other jurisdictions. The Working Group included experts in advance care planning and in education for health care professionals. Rather than reinventing the wheel, this module used and adapted existing material as much as possible.

Since the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s, the experience of illness has been changing. Modern medicine has been very successful fighting disease, other conditions, and aging. In the 21st century, people are living with illness for much longer than ever before. Today, they must deal with many complex issues: How can they get relief from their symptoms? How can they carry on with life as they have known it? How will the illness affect their roles and relationships? What can be done to change the illness experience? How can they restore or maintain their capacity for meaningful and valuable experiences that give quality to their lives? Each of these issues creates expectations, needs, hopes and fears, which must be addressed in order for the ill person to adapt, continue living, and find opportunities for growth. For many years, the approach used in hospice palliative care has helped patients and their families address these issues while they were dying. Now, all the skills and strengths developed in hospice palliative care can be applied throughout the experience of illness and bereavement to help patients and families improve the quality of their lives, increase their ability to participate in therapy to fight their disease and, potentially, prolong their lives. The practice of hospice palliative care is relatively young. In Canada, it began in the 1970s and has evolved rapidly. The term “hospice palliative care” was coined to recognize the convergence of hospice and palliative care into one movement that has the same principles and norms of practice. In a consensus–building process led by the Standards Committee of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association, providers, organizations and consumers joined to share their experiences and develop a clear vision for hospice palliative care that everyone could use. The resulting model represents more than 10 years of collaboration by individuals, committees, associations and governments across Canada and is

This document is intended for healthcare teams working with children and their families. It constitutes a point of reference that can be used to establish standards of practice so that children, adolescents and their families receive the special attention they require.
Criteria have been developed for each standard so that they can translate into specific measures and concrete actions. Using these criteria, healthcare teams and institutions can assess their performance, focus on areas in need of improvement and find solutions to problems they have identified. The standards were divided into four areas of focus: 1) child- and family-centered care; 2) interdisciplinary; 3) continuous quality improvement; 4) clinical governance
