About Dr. Pippa Hawley: Dr. Hawley came to Canada from the UK via New Zealand and became a Palliative Medicine specialist via a roundabout route, including some clinical HIV research in Vancouver in the early '90s, two Internal Medicine residencies, and a self-directed two year fellowship including six months working with Prof. Geoff Hanks, the first professor of palliative medicine in Bristol, England. She started the BC Cancer Agency's Pain & Symptom Management/Palliative Care Program (PSMPC) in 1997. Pippa is medical leader of the Provincial PSMPC Program and of the Vancouver team, doing mainly outpatient clinic consultations. Dr. Hawley's research interests include the assessment and treatment of symptoms such as oral mucositis, delirium and constipation, and she is currently carrying out RCTs on management of opioid-induced constipation and lidocaine infusions for cancer-related pain. She is also leading the drive for early integration of palliative care into oncology in BC, and the creation of an academic palliative care network in BC. This webinar series is co-sponsored by the Section of Palliative Medicine of the Doctors of BC, Pain BC, and Victoria Hospice.
