Palliative & end-of-life care

A conversation that starts when you're ready — not before

We assess for and provide medical assistance in dying, and we are willing to talk about it with you if it is something you are asking about. We will not raise it with you first — that conversation belongs to you.

A sentence we would say to someone who has just been told there is nothing more to be done — to come.

Questions

Before you book

What is a nurse practitioner, and how is it different from seeing a doctor?

A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse with additional graduate education and authority to assess, diagnose, order and interpret tests, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing conditions. In Saskatchewan, NPs are registered and regulated by the College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan and work to published practice standards. For most of what brings people to primary care, an NP can do what a family doctor does.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly. If another provider has referred you, bring their note, but you do not need one to be seen.

Are you taking new patients?

Yes. Any limit on how many patients we can take, and whether we open a waitlist once we are full — to confirm.

Do I have to pay to see you?

Held until our billing status is confirmed. Either medically necessary care is publicly funded and you pay nothing for it, or some visits are privately billed and we tell you the fee before you book. We will publish whichever is true — not both.

Can I be seen virtually?

Yes, for many things. Some visits need to be in person — anything requiring an examination, a procedure, or certain forms. If a virtual visit turns out to need to be in person, we tell you before the appointment, not after. Confirming which visit types are and are not offered virtually.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Your Saskatchewan Health card, a list of every medication and supplement you take including doses, and the names of any specialists involved in your care. If you have recent test results or hospital paperwork, bring them.

Do you provide medical assistance in dying (MAiD)?

Held until we have checked this wording against the CRNS MAiD guideline. Draft: “Yes. We assess for and provide medical assistance in dying, and we are willing to talk about it with you if it is something you are asking about. We will not raise it with you first — that conversation belongs to you.”
