The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Nurses Group (CHPC NG)

 

 is comprised of approximately 200 Canadian nurses who are interested in hospice palliative care and who work in diverse settings and roles across the country. The CHPC NG has a voluntary executive board of 9 members who actively lead the work of the group towards achieving its mission of "defining and advancing the unique body
of knowledge and the holistic approach used in hospice palliative care nursing; supporting hospice palliative care nursing research, education, practice and administration at a national level; promoting hospice palliative care networking opportunities to enhance communication and learning among Canadian nurses; influencing hospice palliative care public policy development at the provincial/territorial level and national level". The CHPC NG is administratively supported by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and is a member of CNA's Canadian Network of Nursing Specialities. NG members are therefore able to contribute to the hospice palliative care nursing certification examination, develop and maintain hospice palliative care nursing standards as well as have a voice in broader nursing issues. The CHPC NG executive would like to inform Schools of Nursing faculty that the NG can act as an agency for undergraduate and graduate nursing students to do a practicum in such courses as community/global health, leadership, professional practice or similar courses. To date the University of Victoria and Dalhousie University have both enabled students to participate in learning activities within the NG. If you or any of your students are interested in learning more about how to become involved in the NG or how to do a practicum with the NG please contact our Communication Coordinator, Brenda Hearson (bhearson@virtualhospice.ca).
