Development and Implementation of the Family Caregiver Decision Guide (June 25)

Objectives: 

You will learn about the systematic development of a unique resource for family caregivers of someone with serious illness that:

• Helps identify needs (informational, educational, support)
• Enables caregivers and health care providers to have focused, clear conversations about what is needed so caregivers can give the care they want to give at home
• Enables caregivers to “take stock” of where they are and where they are headed
• Enables health care providers to more effectively meet the needs of both family caregivers and their care recipient who is ill with cancer

Dr. Carole Robinson is a Professor Emeritus, Nursing at the University of British Columbia. She is an advanced clinician in family systems nursing, palliative care, and pain and symptom management.
