Our next regional meeting on the 13th September promises to be a lively affair. We will be focusing on Opioid substitution -“bread and butter”  for professionals working in specialist palliative care. However all is not as it seems. Our Guideline Development Group have been grappling with many tricky questions and a limited evidence base to work with. We will hear the results from the survey of healthcare professionals and the clinical case audit which generated a lot of data- thanks to everyone who contributed. We then need to discuss our new guidelines and standards, some of which will no doubt be controversial!! Please come and contribute- we would love to hear your thoughts.

The meeting is at the Marie Curie Hospice in Woolton. Remember parking can be limited . Lunch is from 12,30 – it will be a sandwich affair this time so if you need something more substantial  do bring supplies!!. Our presentation and discussion runs from 1pm to 2.30pm.
