APPM Conference 2026

APPM Conference 2026 will take place in Birmingham on 12-13 November 2026, bringing together hospice and palliative care professionals from across the UK to learn and network in a relaxed atmosphere. The Association for Paediatric Palliative Medicine states that Day 1 will focus on research within paediatric palliative medicine, with presentations by innovative and influential researchers within Europe, while Day 2 explores Pushing the Boundaries through innovation and development in paediatric palliative medicine. The conference has a clear poster abstract route: APPM invites abstract submissions for poster presentation, with a closing date of 1 July 2026 and submissions sent to admin@appm.org.uk using the linked template and requirements. BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care has agreed to publish successful abstracts, with APPM responsible for submitting accepted abstracts in the required format. Registration was expected to open in April, but the rendered conference page does not yet show a booking URL, fee table, registration deadline, CPD accreditation or venue name beyond Birmingham. For junior doctors and paediatric palliative medicine trainees, the strongest value is the research day, poster presentation opportunity and publication pathway through BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care.
