2017 SIGs - Palliative care

You are invited to the 2017 SAPC palliative care special interest group meeting on Wednesday 12th July. The palliative care group aims to stimulate palliative care research in primary care and to consolidate a sound academic research base for palliative care in the community.

The SIG meeting will bring together clinicians and non-clinicians with an interest in providing high quality palliative care in primary care and the community. We will hear about current community based palliative care research projects, discuss routes to more primary palliative care research and consider how to make this happen.
