APM: A Community to Support You
The APM welcomes any allied health professional in or interested in palliative care. We provide an excellent range of palliative care resources for our associate members.
This extends to those who have recently retired from the field but are keen to stay up to date with industry news.
The APM stands as a voice for its members, ensuring their concerns and interests in Palliative Medicine practice are defended in all relevant areas. From legal and political to training, economic, and workforce issues, we are your champions.
We also engage with the ever-evolving national dialogues and vital topics like assisted dying, palliative care financing, clinical nutrition and hydration, assisted ventilation, and Palliative Medicine Training.
