**About This Opportunity**:
The St Martha's Regional Hospital palliative care service is seeking a physician to join their team and provide locum maternity leave coverage As a member of the palliative care service, you will work collaboratively with a great team of comprehensive healthcare providers. All palliative care physicians based out of St. Martha’s Regional Hospital provide consultative services in hospital, community and outpatient settings.

Acute Care: Palliative care physicians offer consultative services at the St Martha's Regional Hospital (the regional acute care hospital), including in the palliative care unit for patients requiring acute pain and symptom management or end-of life care. This 6 bed unit is staffed with specialized palliative care nurses. Physicians also offer consultative services at four outlying hospitals - St. Mary’s Hospital in Sherbrooke, Guysborough Memorial Hospital, Eastern Memorial Hospital in Canso, and Straight Richmond Hospital in Cape Breton.

Community Care: The palliative care team includes a robust home consultation. Physicians provide community (home and LTC settings) based consultative services along with specialized palliative care nurses, who are assigned to every patient in the program. Palliative care nurses are based in each community with a hospital and support both inpatient and community patients. We work closely with VON and continuing care nursing and home care services to deliver care at home.

Outpatient Care: Outpatient care happens in the palliative care offices, located in the same wing as outpatient oncology services at St. Martha’s Reginal Hospital. We see patients as needed, who prefer to come to the office instead of home visits, as well as when patients come for oncology appointments or treatments. We have an excellent working relationship with our oncology colleagues, with the ability to see new referrals quickly and shared, scheduled, weekly patient review rounds.

Multidisciplinary Team: The palliative care team also includes a palliative care clinical nurse educator, two social workers, spiritual care advisers, a music therapist, pharmacist. We access physiotherapy and occupational therapy services through our hospitals or continuing care. The palliative care team also works very closely with the community palliative care society who’s focus is on supporting those facing end of life in the community. We have excellent access to equipment and supplies through both the palliative care society and the local Red Cross.

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 Antigonish through the Dalhousie Medical School. Medical students from any medical school nation-wide and world-wide may come to Antigonish for electives in Palliative Care. Research opportunities are also available.
