Michal Galazka Study Day 2022: Inequalities in Palliative and End of Life Care

This year’s Michal Galazka Study Day will focus on inequalities in palliative and end of life care. The event will include a variety of academic talks (covering socioeconomic position, ethnicity, & sexuality/gender identity) as well as short ‘soap box’ contributions from patients, providers & policy perspectives. This will be followed by a panel discussion that focuses on ‘what needs to happen now to make change?’.

The event will be hybrid for inclusivity.

Please register here. When purchasing tickets, please choose whether you will be attending in person or online.

Tickets for this event are £10. Please contact Rachel Chambers (Rachel.Chambers@kcl.ac.uk) if you would like to attend the event but are unable to pay the registration fee.
