The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care team are really looking forward to welcoming you to the 2024 Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care Annual Conference, 6th November in Edinburgh.  

You can read about the speaker line up, download the draft programme and book a place here.

They have planned an event which they hope will inform, inspire and energise. 

The theme for this year’s conference is “The Space Between”.  Topics will include:

  • uncertainty – a challenge and an opportunity for practitioners and families
  • reducing the gaps between rhetoric and reality, policy and practice, expectations and experience
  • between the last breath and a funeral – options, practicalities and healing
  • theory and practice in future care planning – learnings from a public helpline
  • palliative care in humanitarian settings and emergencies
  • the importance of presence, and the causes of absence
  • improving patient safety and carer confidence around palliative medication
  • tackling exclusion and disadvantage

After the formal programme is completed you’re invited to stay for a while, have a drink and mingle.

You can find more details and registration here.
