Summary Digest for Palliative Care Professionals: December 2025
Дайджест на русском языке читайте по ссылке.

December is a time to pause and reflect on the journey we have shared in 2025. You might have saved some of our digests or articles for later, simply because there wasn’t enough time or energy during the year. That’s why we’ve put together a year-end digest for you: it compiles all the recommended materials from 2025, neatly organised by topic for your convenience. Happy holidays, dear friends! Thank you for staying with us and sharing PACED’s values. May the coming year bring you more strength, warmth, and professional inspiration.

If you would like to continue any of the topics below in a discussion or webinar, please feel free to contact us at info@paced.org.uk.

If you are a palliative care professional from Central Asia, the South Caucasus, Eastern Europe, or the Baltic States, or if you work to develop palliative care in these regions, we warmly invite you to join our community chat on Telegram. Please complete this brief form
