EUGMS Glasgow Congress - RCPSG - September 2009

On 17th and 18th September 2009, RCPSG co-hosted the EUGMS Congress which focused on 'Palliative Care Medicine and End of Life Issues in Older Adults'. This event was exceptionally well received by delegates, who travelled to Glasgow from over 23 countries across the globe.

We are delighted that this meeting was held at the College and that this was generously supported by a grant from the William and Elizabeth Davies Charitable Foundation which supports a wide range of activities including assisting research, education and training in palliative care.
