Volunteer Training
Client Service Volunteers are required to complete Core Concepts in Hospice Palliative Care offered by PalCare. Core 1 is a 24 hour program that provides a basic introduction to hospice and palliative care for professionals, volunteers and caregivers. Participants will learn about, discuss and participate in modules which include: personal perspectives, communication skills, infection control and delegated acts, spirituality, grief and bereavement, pain and symptom management, family dynamics, culture and ethics, caregiver support and advanced care planning. All sessions must be completed in order to receive your certificate. There is also a self-learn online option offered by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario (HPCO). Please contact the coordinator of volunteer services for registration details for both PalCare and HPCO.
Core Concepts Level One Training Topics
PalCare offers the training four times a year (spring, summer, fall & winter).
