This introductory programme is for physician associates with an interest in furthering their knowledge and skills in palliative care.
This is the first palliative care programme in the UK specifically tailored to physician associates.
This community of practice will consist of four afternoon sessions, providing an opportunity for developing communication skills and networking. The first three sessions will be via Zoom and the last session in-person at St Christopher’s CARE in Sydenham.
The four sessions will focus on:
- An introduction to palliative care
- Symptom control and psychological support
- End of life care including recognising dying and anticipatory medicines
- Communication skills involving scenarios
Who is it for?
This community of practice is open to physician associates either working in palliative care or primary care within the boroughs served by St. Christopher’s Hospice.
CPD accreditation from the FPA (Faculty of Physician Associates) pending

The global learning objectives for this community are to:
- Understand the core principles of palliative care, including symptom management, communication, and holistic patient care.
- Reflect on personal attitudes and biases related to death, dying, and end-of-life care, and develop a compassionate and empathetic approach towards patients and their families.
