Incontro Internazionale - Exploring Connections
International Palliative Care Nursing Research Conference

'Incontro internazionale' - 'international meeting' will create a forum at which nurses and health professionals will be able to contribute to the field of palliative care through the exchange of ideas, critical discussion and collaboration.
The conference will be staged in the stately 18th century Palazzo Vaj, a wonderfully restored building with a beautiful open-air terrazzo surrounded by medieval towers, home of the Monash Centre, Prato. Prato, often described as the real Italy, is in the very heart of Tuscany only 15 minutes from Florence.
