1st announcement / call for papers: 7th International Conference on Paediatric Palliative Care, Cardiff, UK, 2015

icpcn_thumb150_ Medicine and Compassion: Tool for the Task... Or Dangerous Distraction? This is the theme of this year's conference which will explore the relationship between cure and care; whether the emphasis on one must inevitably risk sacrificing the other, and whether compassion and scientific research are necessarily in tension in caring for dying children.

Research abstracts or workshop proposals are welcomed on any aspect of palliative care in children and from any professional discipline: nurses, doctors, therapists and theologians, scientists and psychologists, epidemiologists and ethicists.

Deadline for abstracts is 1/2/2015
