The 2024 Oxford Advanced Pain and Symptom Management Course © in Oxford – Face to Face

This course is amongst the UK’s leading courses for palliative care nurses, pharmacists and doctors. Almost 500 people attended in 2023. For nearly 45 years it has delivered cutting edge knowledge and skills to healthcare practitioners so they can provide their patients with the best possible care. Dr Mary Miller has led the course since 2008, developing a unique course each year.

Organisations get value for money as the course delivers high standards of professional knowledge, is educationally sound allowing staff time for discussion and supports staff in setting continuing educational goals for the year following the course.

Any profits generated are ploughed back into education - as we are a charity.

In 2024, we will run a face to face course in Oxford and Newcastle. Lectures will be recorded and made available to all delegates attending the face to face courses as part of their supporting educational resources.

The option to watch the recordings is available for people who are unable to attend the face to face courses - see virtual course on our website.
