PACE looks at palliative and end-of-life care


The speakers will explore the many unique aspects associated with this field of care, including available services and resources offered at both NHH and throughout West Northumberland.

And as always, questions from the audience are welcome. They can be pre-submitted by e-mailing trennicks@chcnorthumberland.ca prior to the session (or, time permitting, posed live during the event).

PACE talks were the idea of Dr. Mukesh Bhargava, who wanted to see more public education on the questions his patients were bringing him to him most often. The first PACE (Personalized Assessment and Change Education) talks began in 2018. Since then, a broad range of health and wellness topics have been offered, consistently drawing large groups of community members with a variety of questions and perspectives.

Each hour-long session includes a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute question-and-answer period with the guest speaker(s) an a short moderator summary.

Pre-registration is required, as space is limited to the first 300 registered attendees. The event is hosted through Zoom, and attendees will be asked to log in five minutes prior to the start.

You can sign up for Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care – Not Why, But When at www.pacetalks.com, where you'll also find recordings from many talks from previous seasons.

Bring your questions, your suggestions and your experience, and join what is expected to be another informative discussion on a topic chosen by previous PACE attendees.
