Speaker’s Bio: Ann Henshaw is an occupational therapy practitioner and an experienced collaborator who seeks to integrate rehabilitation services to enhance quality of care and quality of life for seriously ill people and their families. Her experience in public health and health care consulting allow her a broad view of the barriers and facilitators to collaborative practice. As part of her doctoral work, she developed the PalRehab Toolkit to share evidence based strategies to promote interprofessional collaborative practice in palliative rehabilitation. Ann works to enhance role clarity, teamwork and communication and ultimately improve care delivery.
