Pallium Palliative Pocketbook available

The Pallium Palliative Pocketbook was released in September 2008. Ten thousand (10,000) copies of the first edition sold out in 18 months. A second printing of 8,000 Second Printing units was undertaken in 2010/11 using a co-operative purchasing arrangement among 29 partners in nine Canadian provinces. Small order/retail copies of the Pocketbook are available through the CHPCA Marketplace at a cost of $19.95 plus applicable taxes and S&H. A detailed resource description can be found here.

The Pallium Project welcomes feedback, including notices of erratum and specific information that can be useful for further development of the book. The Pocketbook has been mainly written as a practical, peer-reviewed and referenced resource to help generalist practitioners from medicine, nursing, pharmacy and related disciplines work together safely, ethically, effectively and more accountably (i.e., evidence-informed practice) in care of the seriously-ill and dying in community-based settings of care throughout Canada.

To this end, we encourage feedback via a form-fillable PDF feedback form that can be emailed, or a more traditional paper-based version (also in PDF format) which can be either faxed back or mailed to The Pallium Project.
