We would like to invite you to take part in an exclusive two-day meeting on Palliative Care, being held at The Universidad Catolica Argentina in Buenos Aires on the 6-7 September.

The 'Simposio ecancer de Cuidados Paliativos will bring together around 500 health care professionals to discuss how best practice in palliative care can be implemented.

The goal of the meeting is to provide delegates with a complete overview of the key topics in end of life care, as well as provide a practical framework for improving the quality of life for patients and their families when curative treatments are no longer an option.

Talks will outline all treatment options not just pain relief, how to approach the psychological and spiritual issues, as well as best practice for organising a comfort care setting. The meeting will include a session devoted to nursing as well as a session focused on the role of the state in setting policy.

The full programme is available here: http://www.ecancerargentina.org/agenda

The meeting will be held in Spanish and will be webcast after the event so that the wider community can benefit from the talks.

The event is being supported by the Argentine Association of Medicine (AAMYCP) and Palliative Care, the Latin American Association of Palliative Care (ALCP) and the Asociación Cuidados Paliativos de Colombia-ASOCUPAC.
