Thank you to everyone for making the first International Telehealth Palliative Care Symposium a success. It shows that people in palliative care are willing to listen, learn and share to make palliative care better for the world! We have 390 registrants.

All registrants have been emailed a survey link asking about their symposium experience. Please take time to fill it out. We want to learn if you feel that the symposium was worth your time, effective as an education tool and other experiences. We will continue to maintain this site and add palliative care resources. Any ideas, comments suggestions are welcome at any time by email, phone, or by responding to the "general comments" tab on this page.

On Wednesday Dr. Greg Marino and I were interviewed by Alaska Public Radio about the Palliative Care Symposium.  Listen to the interview on the APRN website -- Health Consortium Hosts Palliative Care Symposium.

 Pose questions/comments on each agenda topic. Speakers and others will respond. The website will be maintained for education and discussion after the conference ends.

Presentations have been posted to the website to be joined at a later time by video, podcasts and other material.

General Conference Comments

 

Roxanol alternative

We still have oxycodone 20mg/ml solution available in our pharmacy.  I understand that the FDA is rethinking its blanket request to curtail production and availability of higher dose morphine liquid solutions after hearing from the palliative and eol care community.  I believe they have committed to having a pall care voice at the table when considering these issues in the future.

Thanks so much!

I am just off the phone with two sites who had a great experience.  Can you believe that we were able to get input from around the world?  Great opportunity for sharing, and to see we are not alone in our vision of the best palliative care for all patients.  Thanks everyone, and keep up the good work!  Julia

Alternative to Roxanol 20mg/ml

Hello,

We are having trouble obtaining Roxanol 20mg/ml to use in our palliative care patients. What are you using using as an alternative?

Thanks!
