About the Presentation

Palliative care consultants are increasingly being called to the emergency department (ED). We want to be as responsive as possible to the ED, while providing the best quality consultation for the patient. This session will discuss key aspects of consultation in the ED and provide learners with a framework to interact with ED staff for optimal patient centered outcomes.
