Kurzbeschreibung: The discipline of Palliative Care is evolving to include more attention to persons with non-cancer diagnoses, those who are earlier in the illness trajectory and those who require cancer rehabilitation. With our population base increasing, how can we make best use of our resources to meet this need? Come join us in Montreal from September 26-29, 2006 to a meeting that started thirty years ago in 1976 as an initiative of Balfour Mount’s, and that he continues to sustain. From a global perspective, we will explore the research and development issues that challenge us. We will have the opportunity to renew ourselves as providers of care and obtain the inspiration that will help us shape the palliative care of the future. All this will happen in Montreal, an exciting city known for its diverse cultural landscape and its joie de vivre.
