The Ontario Palliative Care Competency Framework: A Reference Guide for Health Professionals and Volunteers
This framework offers guidance on strengthening the current model of palliative care so that individuals receive the right care, from the right provider, at the right time. It focuses on adults living with progressive, life-limiting illnesses who would benefit from palliative care, as well as the supports needed by their families and caregivers. The framework highlights the critical role of education in building palliative care capacity and underscores the importance of ensuring providers have the necessary competencies.
