UPDATE: Psychiatry and Palliative Care Study Day 2020 due to be held on 20th July has now been rescheduled: NEW DATE: 1 February 2021
Location: Royal College of Psychiatrists
This is the third year we re running this event, following previous sold out study days. Plenary speakers will explore the latest advances in the field including end of life dementia care, approaching palliative care in those with severe mental illness and implementing end of life care packages for those with cognitive impairments. For the first time, this year’s study day will include breakout workshops which can be selected based on delegate’s interests. Topics will include assessing risk in palliative care settings, psychosis and opiate prescribing in substance misuse disorders.
This event remains FREE.
We realise the current situation with Covid-19 is uncertain and we do not know what the situation will be in July. While we are continuing to plan for this study day on 20th July we are in discussions with the venue about the possibility of rescheduling and will be following government and Public Health England advice throughout. Anyone who registers will be prioritised for a place in the event being rescheduled because the healthcare situation remains such that we cannot go ahead on the 20th July.
