What our previous delegates have said:   

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Palliative Care Conference and felt it met all the declared aims and objectives. It was very informative, thought provoking and appropriate for my level of training.” 


“I have learned how to have compassionate and empathetic conversations with patients and families at end of life. I will be able to more confidently prescribe for palliative care patients with renal disease, diabetes and addictions.” 


“The various adjustments of palliative care in the different co-morbidities and the medico-legal aspects were informative and would affect my practice in positive way.” 


“Really wide-ranging and useful talks with real-life examples and ways to make the learning applicable in everyday work/life.”
