Palliative Pain & Symptom Management Pocket Reference Guide and Reference Material

The new "2009" Palliative Pain and Symptom Management Pocket Reference Guide replaces all previous versions of the Guide.

The Guide provides pain and symptom management information; this information is not medical advice. This guide was developed as general information for physicians and registered nurses with palliative care expertise only; physicians and nurses should exercise their own independent clinical judgment.

To the best of our ability, we have provided references for the information contained within this reference guide. Where references are not available, the information reflects local practice by Palliative Care Expert Physicians in the Erie St. Clair and South West Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs). Health care providers must be fully informed before prescribing any products and while we endeavour to keep the information up to date and correct, we make no representation or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability with respect to the information or products. In no event will we be liable for any loss or damages including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from or out of the use of this reference guide.
