About this event

  • Date and time Tue 18 Feb 2025 from 9:30am to 12:30pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by Palliative Care

Join us as we present master’s level palliative care research and quality improvement projects, inspiring you to find your research interests and develop your projects. This event will benefit trainees, junior doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals alongside senior clinicians who want to learn more about how to get involved with research.

With an increasingly ageing and multi-morbid population, research in the field of palliative care is vital to ensure the experience of patients with life-limiting conditions is improved. Attitudes to research and inclusion of patients with life-limiting conditions are changing and patients and communities are increasingly understood as partners in developing research questions and projects. There has never been a more exciting and challenging time to build research into your career.

By attending, you will

  • Develop an understanding of research methodologies and career opportunities in academic palliative care. 
  • Identify key opportunities and challenges for research in palliative care.
  • Learn about current research topics in palliative care.

This meeting aims to inspire and stimulate junior doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals about the role of research in palliative care. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with their peers, academics, and clinicians.

The Palliative Care Section George Adams Prize and Research Prize will also be presented and awarded at this meeting.
