This handbook was written to enhance the professional caregiver’s capacity and confidence in offering hospice palliative care. The content is helpful for nurses (and physicians) providing palliative care across a variety of settings – cueing assessment and interventions. This 3rd edition reflects the finished work of a one year blind peer review and pan-Canadian dialogue among many of Canada’s most experienced hospice palliative care practitioners.  It is available for purchase through the CHPCA marketplace at: http://www.market-marche.chpca.net/chpca/marketplace.nsf/catalogue!openview&restricttocategory=PALLIUM&cartid=9692088814063462&memberstatus=Nonmember&language=English
