About the Palliative Care Congress
The Association for Palliative Medicine of Great Britain and Ireland (APM) host the Palliative Care Congress on an annual basis. PCC events attract over 500 delegates from around the world from a diverse multidisciplinary background.
The Art of Possibility: Creativity and Science in Modern Palliative Care
The Committee has chosen this engaging and timely theme as a reflection of the evolving nature of palliative care. It speaks to the need to integrate evidence-based innovations with creative, person-centred approaches reflecting the emotional and spiritual dimensions of palliative care. This chosen theme opens the door for a diverse range of speakers, to include clinicians, artists, researchers, as well as patients.
We look forward to creating an inspiring programme in the coming months and warmly welcoming our colleagues to Brighton for PCC next March.
