To have our World Congress receive the patronage of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Ms Marija Pejčinović Burić is a great honour and is recognition of the importance of our work to promote and develop palliative care across the whole of Europe.’

“A focus on Equity and Diversity at EAPC is a welcome addition to the conversations required to enhance equity-oriented approaches to palliative and end of life care. I’m looking forward to our collective capacity to think deeply about what equity means in our field and to find ways to enhance it.” Dr. Kelli I. Stajduhar.
“I look forward to this year’s EAPC World Congress to learn about the latest developments in palliative care research that can transform clinical practice. The conference theme on Equity and Diversity is important because equity improves patient outcomes and diversity drives innovation” Dr.David Hui.
“I can’t wait to join friends and colleagues at #EAPC2023. I have quite a few talks and workshops lined up, but oddly have more trepidations about the Science Slam, as my entry is a bit controversial, AND what happens if no one laughs? Horrifying! But I’m sure the wonderful palliative care community will be very forgiving.
Equity and Diversity underpins this event, and I feel we cannot bang the drum about this enough, so have tried to create these important pillars in all my contributions. See you there” Prof. Mark Taubert .
So don’t miss out! Register now.
We promise you an engaging, thought provoking and inspiring three days! We look forward to seeing you there.
