Hi amazing nurses I met at the SEIU conference! Thanks for the great discussions! Here are some of the resources I referenced during my presentation, we didn’t really get to the scenarios because everyone already brought up their own scenarios (which was perfect) so I’ve included them here as well. Don’t forget if you need help, reach out to me! I am available my email (kellidunham@gmail.com) or text (215.964.1963). You can also call, but sometimes I’m a little slower with that.
A resource I meant to mention during the workshops but didn’t: A brand new book by Kimberly D Acquaviva, LGBTQ Inclusive Hospice & Palliative Care, is a great resource not just for the information about hospice/palliative specific care but for the broad overview it provides about historical barriers to care and ways to encourage colleagues to provide competent care.
