There are many occasions when doctors in any specialty might need to step up into palliative care conversations, symptom management, anticipatory care planning, or caring for dying patients. This APM Juniors conference is for all of you.

Unexpected but very welcome visit from Mick Lynch in support of action to stop people dying in poverty. We could not get the screen working so he kindly agreed to kneel down in support of people of working age having access to the state pension!

Yesterday Petitions Committee hosted a debate on children and bereavement including the petition to require schools to provide age-appropriate education to help children understand death as a part of life. We welcome this important debate highlighting the need for grief education.
