Our branch members are trained professionals and volunteers in the Fundamentals of Hospice Palliative Care, bereavement support workers, social workers, psychologists, registered nurse and/or midwifery practitioners, personal support workers and they receive ongoing professional education, guidance, support and training from the branch coordinators, chief nursing officer and other subject matter expert.
