Palliative care in Canada

 “A Good Death” is an online series co-production by CBC News with students from the Graduate Program in Journalism at Western.
“This series provides an opportunity to explore what makes a good end-of-life journey, how attitudes and practices are evolving, and what changes are needed to put palliative care on the public agenda. It also shows how, in a world devoted to longevity, we are failing in Canada to meet the needs of the dying.”
Occupational therapists as health professionals work in palliative care and are interested in this public conversation about the state of dying in Canada. They are concerned with the variations in quality palliative care.
