Caring at the Intersections: Enhancing Palliative Care Practices

The objective of this workshop is to equip participants with practical tools and strategies to implement an intersectional lens so they can further enhance their person-centric care. Using case studies and examples, participants will be guided in reflexive practice, explore the meaning of intersectionality and intersectional framework, and brainstorm ideas to turn knowledge into practice.

• Intersectionality in palliative care:
