At the APM, we believe the continued education and development of medical professionals is crucial to all aspects of End of Life and Palliative Care. Here, we’ve compiled some excellent education events that can benefit those working in this sector.
The APM hosts the annual Palliative Care Congress, which attracts over 500 international delegates from diverse multidisciplinary backgrounds. PCC has been running since 1996 and attracts individuals starting out in their palliative medicine career all the way through to Consultants and Medical Directors.
In 2024, PCC was a virtual conference held on the 21st and 22nd of March and hosted by the ICC Belfast. As the conference was virtual, it had a global theme: what can we learn from palliative care specialists across the globe, and how can we collaborate? PCC 2025, will be hosted face-to-face in Belfast.
