Agenda
Recordings available - SOON!
Just a few more tweaks to our finished products, and we will have a direct link to the ordering process. Thank you for your patience. We anticipate all information to be in place by July 4, 2008.
The Supportive Care Coalition’s Third National Congress was a success - with nearly 300 participants. The program offered an opportunity to advance knowledge in state-of-the-art palliative and end-of-life care, attend to participant’s spiritual and self-care needs, create both organized and spontaneous networking and “crosspollination” opportunities, and to inspire new thought and insight into our fields of service.
Our nationally-recognized faculty provided practical ways to reach out to vulnerable populations, shared learnings from innovative care programs, ethical processes, quality measures, system-wide initiatives, caregiver/patient communications as well as the essentials of self and spiritual care for the caregiver.
Many of the presentations were recorded by Meeting Expectations, LLC, and will be made available after March 10, 2008. The formatting of these presentations is a unique hybrid of the audio track and the PowerPoint, allowing viewers to fully focus on the materials while hearing each speaker's comments as recorded during the event. This formatting also includes the operator control options of skipping forward, backward or pause.
