Prescribing at the end of life can be complex, and ensuring effective pain and symptom control remains a key priority. This essential national conference is designed to support non-medical prescribers working in palliative and end-of-life care, with a focus on improving prescribing confidence and competence in this challenging area.

With prescribing of controlled drugs by non-medical prescribers continuing to rise, including a 10% increase in pharmacist prescribing last year, the need for up-to-date training and peer learning has never been greater.

This interactive online event will include:

  • National policy and regulatory updates
  • Best practice in prescribing controlled drugs
  • In-depth case studies from experienced prescribers
  • Practical guidance to support safe, effective prescribing

This online event is great for nurse prescribers, pharmacist prescribers and other allied healthcare professionals involved in palliative care.

Speakers include:

  • Dr Barry Quinn, Senior Lecturer in Cancer & Palliative Care, Queen’s University
  • Melinda Presland, Consultant Pharmacist for Palliative and End of Life Care, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
  • Dr Edith Israel, Deputy Executive Medical Director & Consultant in Palliative Medicine, We Are With You
