Summary
Palliative care research requires interdisciplinary collaboration. A retreat formed five groups focusing on pain, access, translational research, education, and communication to advance Canadian palliative care.
Area of Science:
- Palliative Care Research
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Background:
- Palliative care's growing complexity necessitates interdisciplinary research.
- Researchers convened at the Toronto Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Centre in 2006.
Purpose of the Study:
- To foster interdisciplinary collaboration in palliative care research.
- To establish Canadian leadership in palliative care research.
Main Methods:
- A Palliative Care Research Retreat was held.
- Researchers from various settings and hospitals participated.
- Five interdisciplinary research groups were formed.
Main Results:
- Formation of five research groups: pain/symptom management, access to services, translational research, education, and communication.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
01:21Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I
An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
