This year marks the 16th European World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC). The Faculty of Health was represented at this event by a team of academics from IMPACCT and included presentations by Professor Jane Phillips, Director of IMPACCT, Professor David Currow, PaCCSC Chief Investigator and Professor Meera Agar, Chair CST.

The EAPC is a membership organisation dedicated to lobbying and advocating for the promotion and development of palliative care throughout Europe. The theme for this year's congress was 'Global palliative care - Shaping the future'. 

Professor Phillips said, 'It is a wonderful opportunity to represent UTS in this global forum and to present such high-quality work that is about making a difference to the care palliative care patients and their families receive.'

Presentations at the congress included Professor Currow's talk about clinical trial outcomes for breathlessness in his presentation, Regular Oxycodone for Chronic Breathlessness - Answers from a Randomised Controlled Trial. Professor Phillips gave a talk entitled Exploring Opioid Errors in Australian Inpatient Palliative Care Services: A Mixed Methods Study, Professor Meera Agar co-chaired a session entitled Time to Change? Current Practices in Delirium Care. The IMPACCT team gave a total of seven oral presentations, including the results of the PRESERVE Phase II delirium prevention trial by Dr Annmarie Hosie and Professor Deborah Parker's talk, End of Life Directions in Aged Care in Australia. Dr Slavica Kochovska was part of the team that presented a poster entitled A Systematic Review Describing Components of Palliative Care Interventions Addressing the Needs of People with Dementia Living in Long Term Care: Mapping Against EAPC Domains of Optimal Palliative Care for People with Dementia'.
