Latest group news

The Technology and Palliative Care Research Special Interest Group held its first meeting online on the 9 February 2024 with a very diverse group of members attending the meeting. Discussions included the importance of having inputs from people from different disciplines and backgrounds as this will support the group to be successful. Members highlighted that it is not necessary to have a technical background to contribute to this group. Input from members at meetings on the ‘real world’ challenges which people receiving and giving care are dealing with, is essential so that technology based or enabled solutions are aligned with these and deliver the desired impact.

As a next step, the group is developing a survey to gather input from members, which will be used in developing a 12 month plan to guide activities and outputs. The group will hold regular meetings and meeting dates will be publicised in AIIHPC newsletters, as well as being notified to group members.
