CECo One Day Event: Designing and testing interventions to support family caregivers in end of life care
(This is a general CECo event)

Family carers play a crucial role in supporting patients at home towards the end of life. They often suffer adverse effects from care giving, but may also find it rewarding. End of life guidelines and policy recommend that carers’ needs should be assessed and addressed to support them in their role. However, there is limited evidence available on appropriate and effective interventions to support carers.
This CECo event will consider challenges of developing and testing interventions for carers, and consider what we can learn from national and international trials.

The event will be followed by an open meeting of the International Palliative Care Family Carer Research Collaboration.

This event is to coincide with the 9th Palliative Care Congress and a fee of £35 will be charged for attending this extra event.
