Palliative care is essential for ensuring dignity, comfort, and emotional support for patients and
families dealing with serious illness or nearing the end of life. This conference takes on particular
significance as:
• 65% of people are worried about access to palliative care (YouGov)
• 41% think the NHS is under-resourced to provide palliative care (YouGov)
• 16th October 2024 sees the Assisted Dying Bill formally introduced to Parliament.
Join us at the Palliative Care Conference 2025 conference for healthcare professionals, offering
comprehensive insights and practical strategies to enhance end-of-life care. The event covers
essential topics, including improving palliative care accessibility, advanced care planning for
dementia and pediatric patients, and holistic care approaches that integrate compassionate
communication and family feedback. Special focus is given to the digitalisation of palliative care,
where remote caregiving and digital appointments are increasingly vital as the proportion of
people dying at their usual place of residence increases. .
