| Details: | From 1976 to 2010... Palliative care represents a field of excellence for McGill University. From the very beginning, it has committed itself to ensuring access to palliative care, to supporting the training of the different professionals and volunteers and to encouraging research initiatives. One of the most tangible expressions of this commitment is certainly the organization of the International Congress on Palliative Care; since the first gathering in 1976, which was attended by Dame Cicely Saunders, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Robert Buckingham and Balfour Mount, among others, the Congress has been held every two years, bringing together professionals and volunteers from more than 50 countries. This international forum has contributed significantly to the evolution of palliative care in America and around the globe. The next Congress will continue this tradition by exploring the new challenges we face today and sharing newly acquired knowledge. What sets the Congress apart is the quality of the presentations, which are firmly anchored in a daily practice of end-of-life care; second, the true interdisciplinarity that is clearly present throughout the program; and finally, the opportunity to speak with colleagues who are equally dedicated to the men and women confronted with terminal illness. In October 2010, we intend once again to make every effort to re-create this place of dialogue and sharing. We're expecting you. |
