ForwardPain Management at End-of-Life: What, Why, How?
Pain is the symptom most feared by many patients with a terminal condition. According to the World Health Organization, pain management at the end of life is the right of the patient and the duty of the clinician. However, studies have shown that many patients and families suffer from untreated pain at the end of life. The inability to effectively treat pain often results from lack of clinician training in pain and symptom management as well as fear of violating ethical, legal, and professional standards in the administration of pain management at the end of life. This workshop is coordinated to increase clinicians’ knowledge, skills, ability and comfort when caring for the dying patient from an intercultural diverse population.
