Dignity in Care: The Human Side of Health Care Workshop

Dignity in Care: The Human Side of Health Care Workshop

For the last 25 years, Dr Harvey Chochinov’s program of research has earned him recognition as one of the world’s leading palliative care scholars and researchers. He is also a Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.

His seminal publications addressing psychosocial dimensions of palliation have helped define core competencies and standards of upholding dignity in end-of-life care.

Designed to enhance the human side of healthcare, this workshop focuses on the role and application of dignity in all aspects of clinical practice. The workshop will examine Dr Chochinov’s research in relation to dignity related challenges in care and will provide a detailed look at the clinical application of Dignity Therapy. The workshop aims to expand professionals’ ability to care for patients as people and broaden the community of like-minded clinicians and health and social care professionals. This workshop will bring together key experts to consult on leading research and its application to clinical practice.
