About this event

  • Date and time Mon 11 Dec 2023 from 9:30am to 12:30pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by Palliative Care

Join us virtually for this invaluable annual meeting as we present master’s level palliative care research and quality improvement projects, inspiring participants to find your own research interests and develop your own projects. This event will benefit trainees, junior doctors, nurses and allied health professionals alongside senior clinicians who want to learn more about how to get involved with research.

With an increasingly ageing and multi-morbid population, research in the field of palliative care is vital to ensure the experience of patients with life-limiting conditions is improved. Attitudes to research and inclusion of patients with life-limiting conditions are changing and patients and communities are increasingly understood as being partners in developing research questions and projects. Tune in to the event to build your research and enhance your career. 

The Palliative Care Section: George Adams Prize and Research Prize will also be presented and awarded at this meeting. Please scroll down below to make your submission. 

By attending this meeting, you will

  • Develop an understanding of research methodologies and careers opportunities in academic palliative care 
  • Identify key opportunities and challenges for research in the context of palliative care
  • Learn about current research topics in palliative care

This meeting aims to inspire and stimulate junior doctors, nurses and allied health professionals about the role of research in palliative care. The event will showcase master’s level research and quality improvement projects, discuss the challenges and opportunities for research in palliative care and provide an opportunity for aspiring researchers to network with peers, academics and clinicians.
