Pallium Canada

Pallium Canada is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of palliative care across the Canadian healthcare system through education and capacity building. The organization is best known for its Learning Essential Approaches to Palliative Care (LEAP) suite of courseware, which provides standardized, evidence-based training for healthcare professionals across various disciplines. By equipping clinicians with the skills to provide palliative care earlier in a patient's illness, Pallium aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. They collaborate extensively with provincial health authorities, academic institutions, and professional associations to integrate palliative care education into standard practice. Operating as a social enterprise, Pallium reinvests its proceeds into the development of new clinical tools and resources to support the palliative care community.
