🕯️ Living Well, Dying Well: A Palliative Approach
📅 Tuesday, November 18, 2025 | 7 p.m.
🎙️ Hosted by: Erin Newman-Waller, RN, BScN, CHPCN(C)

Join us TOMORROW for an insightful webinar exploring the principles and practice of palliative care, emphasizing the importance of quality of life at every stage of serious illness.

💬 Living Well, Dying Well challenges the misconception that palliative care is only for end-of-life, instead framing it as a holistic, person-centred approach that supports physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being for patients and families alike.

Through compassionate communication, symptom management, and collaborative care, this session highlights how palliative care helps individuals live fully and comfortably—right up to life’s end.

Part of our role as the professional voice of RPNs is to advocate to government on key issues that matter to RPNs. Attracting and retaining more nurses in LTC is one of the many topics we have been championing. WeRPN is pleased to see the government taking action and welcomes Ontario’s commitment to strengthening the long-term care workforce. By supporting RPNs — alongside our RN and NP colleagues — we can help ensure better, more consistent care for the residents who depend on us every day.
