Victoria Hospice has been publishing educational resource materials since the mid 1980s, and offering palliative care courses since 1986. In 1999, we established the Victoria Hospice Learning Centre for Palliative Care, now known as Education Services.

Victoria Hospice publications include the new 4th edition of our popular textbook, Medical Care of the Dying. You can order your copy now directly from Victoria Hospice, or read an excerpt from the Neurological chapter on Confusion, Delirium, and Dementia.
"I
recommend this book highly. It is helpful for people in palliative
care, but its clarity and practicality are such that I hope it finds a home
on general acute care wards, the offices of primary physicians, and hospital
out-patient departments." Journal of Palliative Care
