WHAT is the Roadshow?
It’s a series of full-day educational workshops developed in response to an identified need for palliative care training and development throughout Alberta.
The benefits of the AHPCA Roadshow include community building and strengthening through networking, and increased knowledge and skills about issues related to hospice palliative care and other associated fields.
