As readers know from the many inspiring comments and reports from IAHPC Traveling Scholars, scholarships can make a huge difference to someone from a low-income country who is struggling to develop their skills and experiences in palliative care. A traveling scholarship opens eyes and minds and helps the grantee to acquire new skills that can be adapted to their own setting for the benefit of patients and families.
We do all we can to stretch our modest funds but we would love to provide even more grants to more applicants. That's why we are teaming up with Global #GivingTuesday Movement, which pledges to provide additional traveling scholarships for the advancement of palliative care through education in our Improve Quality of Life – Palliative Care Education campaign.

Whether or not a patient with advanced stage cancer chooses to have chemotherapy, there are a wide variety of other ‘non-medical’ interventions in which they could also engage.
This study day is part of a series of educational events focusing on new approaches to ‘Living with and Beyond Cancer’. We will explore how ‘non-medical’ interventions can promote quality of life and wellbeing in patients with advanced cancer, and how these can be best delivered within the envelope of existing resources.
This event is open to anybody with an interest in managing advanced stage cancers including clinical and non-clinical staff. We also invite patients and carers to join us for the session
