Nurses across all settings are critical to ensuring quality care for those approaching the end of life. The End of Life Care Faculty aims to lead and enhance nurses’ contribution to end of life care by building knowledge, skills, and resources in all aspects of end of life care. Facilitating a network of like-minded Fellows and Members with a shared interest in these activities, this Faculty also provides opportunities to collaborate and engage with members of ACN to promote the importance of high quality palliative and end of life care for all. This enables members of the Faculty to enhance their knowledge and stay up to date with current news, research findings and other professional, legal, and ethical issues relevant to end of life care.
