About

Jointly with The European Association for Palliative Care and the European Academy of Neurology this Specialty Group has produced a Consensus Document on palliative care of neurological disease and is working on a core curriculum for neurology and palliative medicine. The document is aimed at encouraging collaborative working between neurology and specialist palliative care services to improve the care of people with neurological disease.
