About the conference

Our annual research conference brings together prominent professionals in research, policy, and health and social care to showcase the latest palliative and end of life care research. By sharing evidence, we hope to inform and inspire attendees. Together, we will help shape future research and practice in end of life care.

The conference is free and open for all to attend, supporting our aim to make research and evidence accessible to everyone. Last year's conference attracted over 2,100 registrations from 66 countries, our conference in 2025 will take place online again.

Programme

The 2025 Marie Curie Research into Practice Conference will continue to be framed around our four key thematic priorities:

  • supporting the physical or mental health and wellbeing of people affected by dying, death, and bereavement
  • ending financial insecurity at the end of life and ensuring that everyone has the support they need to address their practical concerns
  • ensuring that everyone affected by dying and death, including the family, friends, and carers of the dying person, are supported through and beyond the end of life, including into bereavement
  • ending inequity in end of life experience by ensuring access to excellent standards of care and support for all.

Each day will have a two-hour morning thematic session from 10am – 12pm. There will also be spotlight sessions from 12:30pm onwards. These are one-hour, bitesize sessions designed to shine a light on topics that we know are areas of particular interest and importance in the sector.

If you would like to know what to expect, you can view our 2024 conference and watch all recordings for free.
