Full-time and part-time opportunities are available. As a member of the palliative care service, you will work collaboratively with a great team of comprehensive healthcare providers. Acute Care: Palliative care physicians offer consultative services at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital (the main acute care hospital), including the An Cala Unit (Gaelic for “safe harbour”), a beautiful nine-bed inpatient palliative care unit for patients requiring acute pain and symptom management or end-of life care. This unit is staffed with specialized palliative care nurses. Physicians also offer consultative services at three outlying hospitals within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) - the Glace Bay, New Waterford Consolidated and North Sydney General Hospitals, and within the Cape Breton Cancer Centre (CBCC). A Hospital Consult nurse aids in triaging all inpatient consults and assessing patients within the four hospitals. Community Care: The palliative care team includes a robust home consultation program with four-five specialized palliative care home consult nurses providing direct in-home care, or care to patients in long-term care facilities within the CBRM. Physicians provide consultative services for patients in the community program along with the nurses. One of our physicians also provides consultative services in the rural areas of Cape Breton County. Hospice Care: Minutes away from the CBRH is a brand-new, 10 bed Hospice which opened its doors in March of 2022 and where the palliative care physicians play the role of most responsible physician. The Hospice features beautiful gardens, welcoming rooms for patients and families, and state of the art equipment. A community intake nurse triages all community and Hospice referrals and assists with Hospice admissions. Ambulatory Care: Up until March 2022, the palliative care service had a palliative care specialized Nurse Practitioner (NP) running an ambulatory palliative care clinic with the help of a specialized palliative care nurse. This clinic served mostly patients with a cancer diagnosis receiving care at the CBCC. This NP is temporarily in a pilot position and the palliative care ambulatory clinic has not been in operation since. There are plans to reinstate this clinic upon the return or the recruitment of another NP or if physician resources allow. Multidisciplinary Team: The palliative care team also includes a palliative care clinical nurse educator, two social workers, two bereavement counselors, a spiritual care adviser, a music therapist, an occupational therapist, a dedicated pharmacist, a volunteer coordinator, and many volunteers. The palliative care team also works very closely with the Hospice Society of Cape Breton County. Teaching and Research: There are opportunities for teaching available with academic appointment through Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine. There is a Family Medicine Residency Program on site in Cape Breton through the Dalhousie Medical School and all PGY2 residents must do a core rotation in Palliative Care as part of their training.
