Dear Colleague,
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 18th International Congress on Palliative Care, to be held October 5-8, 2010 at the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, Canada.
Presented by the Palliative Care Division of the Departments of Medicine and Oncology of McGill University, this biennial Congress has grown to become one of the premier international events in palliative care. Healthcare professionals, therapists, volunteers and all those involved in palliative care come to renew themselves as providers of care and to obtain the inspiration that will help them shape the palliative care of the future.
This year's Congress will offer four Concurrent Seminars (October 5), a two-day Pediatric Seminar (October 5-6), as well as plenary sessions, workshops, research forums, and poster sessions on subsequent days of the Congress. The Congress is trilingual, with interpretation offered in all three languages (English, French and Spanish) for plenaries and selected workshops and seminars. Full details will be available in the Detailed Programme (coming in May 2010) and on the Congress website (www.pal2010.com).
The deadline for submitting abstracts for presentation as workshops, proffered papers or research papers is January 31, 2010. Abstracts on all aspects of end-of-life and palliative care are welcome. A full list of subject categories as well as submission instructions and descriptions of each type of presentation can be found on the Congress website (www.pal2010.com). Poster abstracts may be submitted until May 31, 2010.
The pre-early bird registration deadline is March 26, 2010. For more information, to register or to submit an abstract, please visit www.pal2010.com or call +1 450-292-3456 ext. 227.
