New! Palliative Care Atlas of the Americas 2025 The University of Navarra ATLANTES Project of the WHO Collaborating Center has just released its Atlas of Palliative Care for the Americas 2025, with up-do-date information on palliative care development in Latin America, the Caribbean, and North America. This is the fifth 2025 regional update in the series. See more about the series, with links to the others, in Katherine Pettus's advocacy column in this issue.
Looking for break room art? The Indian Association of Palliative Care has crafted more than 30 infographics for public use since 2023, with a new one added monthly. Preparing Palliative Teams for a Humanitarian Crisis is the most recent, following on the heels of Palliative Care in ICUs.
The Foundation for Palliative Care Education (PACED) is starting a series of free webinars on developing and strengthening palliative care associations. On Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. CET, Hospice UK's Chief Executive, Toby Porter, will describe how the UK’s national hospice network was established and expanded, the challenges his colleagues faced, and the practical steps that helped create a cohesive ‘umbrella’ organization linking various institutions. Register for the session, given in English and Russian.
