Hot Topics Palliative & End of Life Care Webinar

Providing high-quality care to our patients as they approach the end of their lives is one of the most important, challenging and rewarding aspects of our work in general practice. The vast majority of palliative care is provided in the community, and, in primary care, we play a pivotal role in providing compassionate, holistic care when our patients need it most.

This brand-new Palliative and End-of-life course for out-of-hours doctors aims to update and upskill you to navigate the complexities of palliative and end-of-life care.

You will gain a deeper understanding of palliative care principles, develop practical skills for effective symptom control and feel empowered to manage challenging end-of-life discussions with empathy and confidence. We’ll also cover those crucial not-to-miss emergencies in palliative care and tricky prescribing challenges. There will be interactive case-based presentations, evidence-based guidelines and useful resources signposted throughout, as well as plenty of opportunities to ask questions and share experiences.
