Rehabilitation in Palliative Care ECHO

Why Rehabilitation in Palliative Care ECHO?

This ECHO network aims to bring together a community of practice for participants, from different clinical backgrounds, who are working towards rehabilitation for those with life-shortening illness.

Who is it for?

The ECHO network is likely to particularly appeal to Occupational and Physio-therapists but has attracted participants from a variety of additional disciplines during its first two terms.

This ECHO Network has now ended, a new network is planned for 2023, so stay tuned!
