Earlier identification and improving palliative and end-of-life care: Using small changes to make a big difference in your practice
Join us for this free, practical and inspiring webinar to discover how small quality-improvement projects and everyday changes can make a meaningful difference for people living with advanced serious illness, those approaching the end of life, and their families and carers. Good palliative and end-of-life care is not delivered by one clinician or through one conversation alone. It is created by the whole general practice team through the people we notice, the questions we ask, the information we record and share, and the simple systems we put in place.

RCGP South East Thames, South West Thames, Brighton and Sussex Medical School Student Prize
For Brighton and Sussex Medical School students only, the RCGP South East Thames and South West Thames Faculties are sponsoring a competition whereby the BSMS tutors invite their top twenty students to submit a reflection, on one side of A4, giving their thoughts of general practice.
