Consultation
Case-based palliative care nurse consultations are available in person, video-conference, phone or by email (if email – no personal health information). Consultation is an active dialogue between the PPSMC and the individual’s health care team to support case-based education/coaching (they do not provide direct patient care or services to the general public). The provider/health care team requesting support must be available to participate. Consultations are free and a doctor’s referral is not required.
Our team is available Monday – Friday from 8:30am – 4:30pm; we are not an emergency or after-hours service.
