We often come across aĀ number of studies and initiatives that are seeking research participants or stakeholder feedback. Here are a few recent ones of interest to care providers, residents, clients and their families:
The Way Forward National Framework: A Roadmap for the Integrated Palliative Approach to Care (Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association)
The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association is seekingĀ feedback on The Way Forward: Moving Towards Community Integrated Hospice Palliative Care in Canada. Launched in 2012, The Way Forward is a three-year initiative funded by the Government of CanadaĀ that aimsĀ to change how we think about and approach aging, chronic, 
serious and life limiting illness and dying, and how we can extend the benefits of hospice palliative and end-of-life care, and advance care planning, to as many Canadians as possible across all care settings. TheĀ initiative is guided by the 37 organizations that make up the Quality End-of-Life Care Coalition of Canada. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association manages the initiative.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia are interested in talking to patients and/or their family members from diverse economic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds about their views on making important and/or difficult healthcare decisions. You may be eligible to take part in the study if you are an adult who has engaged in complex decision-making about your own healthcare, or has been a surrogate decision maker on behalf of a loved one.
