With increasing fragmentation in clinical care, changes in out of hours care and the multitude of professional disciplines involved within any single patient’s journey. We have learnt that “together we can do more”.

The Best Practice Forum is your forum. From the first evening you will be asked to suggest topics that interest and matter to you most. The overall format will include:

  • A Key topical issue presentation by local experts
  • An opportunity to discuss and question the chosen specialist
  • A look at critical events
  • An opportunity to share practice
  • A short symptom management discussion relevant to the case presentation
  • An opportunity to involve the whole team; patients, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, community nurse specialists, administrative and any other professionals
  • An opportunity to network
  • A chance to overcome barriers and cut the red tape

Future topics will include varied areas not solely Palliative Care. For example; COPD, Heart Failure, Dermatology, Rheumatology, Diabetes, Obesity, Lipids, Breast Cancer, Microbiology, Radiology, Ophthalmology, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease and other topics suggested by you.

Your engagement with BPF will help us to collectively achieve our aims. Please pass this on to anyone you feel will benefit the forum.
