Maintaining and developing our staff's knowledge in the speciality of palliative care is very important to ensure the continued delivery of a clinically-effective service.

We attend key conferences in the UK and Europe and ask staff to feedback their learning and insights into daily practice and strategic development.

At conferences, we also share the initiatives we are proud to be undertaking at St Wilfrid's.
