Our blog promotes the EAPC’s vision –  

And the EAPC’s values of: 

• Excellence in palliative care
• Interprofessional working and representation
• Embracing equity, diversity, and inclusion
• Working collaboratively.

 To support these aims, we encourage submission of palliative care blogs relating to: 

• Information (new initiatives and developments), 
• Research (information and updates about the latest in palliative care research), 
• Education (highlighting educational initiatives, successful projects, and developments in education), 
• EAPC events and updates. 

Our multi-professional, European Editorial Team ensures that we deliver a robust, timely and supportive reviewing process enabling us to publish high quality, topical content for anyone interested or involved in hospice and palliative care.  Acceptance by the Editorial Team is necessary in all cases, and no posts will be automatically published.
