APM: A Community to Support You
If you are a medical student, why not support your studies and aid your career progression through free APM membership? Access a wide range of palliative care learning resources for medical students at any recognised medical school in Great Britain and Ireland. Our dedicated Board and Committee groups work on your behalf, creating knowledge-sharing opportunities allowing members to broaden their expertise and network with others in Palliative Medicine.
The APM serves as a representative body for its members, amplifying their voices and protecting their interests in every aspect of the practice of Palliative Medicine. Be it in law, politics, training, finance, or employment, and we are your champions.
Moreover, we actively engage in evolving national discussions and pressing matters like assisted dying, funding for palliative care, clinical nutrition and hydration, assisted ventilation, and training in Palliative Medicine.
