Georgian launches palliative care training, plans prescribing course integration

Georgian College is launching two initiatives to strengthen nursing education and rural health care. Georgian is partnering with Brightshores Health System to deliver simulation-based palliative care training in the Grey-Bruce region. The training uses actors and lifelike manikins to help health providers build skills and confidence for home-based care. Georgian is exploring options to incorporate this training into its nursing curriculum. The college will also be integrating the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) authorized Registered Nurse Prescribing Education course into its Honours Bachelor of Science – Nursing program this fall.
