About this event

  • Date and time Mon 17 Dec 2018 from 9:00am to 3:30pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Palliative Care

With an increasingly ageing and multi-morbid population, research in the field of Palliative medicine is ever more vital to ensure the experience of patients with life-limiting conditions is improved.  

Attitudes to research and inclusion patients with life-limiting conditions have developed from a paternalistic to a collaborative approach. This is an exciting time to get into research in Palliative Medicine.

There will be opportunities to get advice on getting into research and network with enthusiastic researchers from all over the UK.
