End of Life SIG Meeting & BASL/BSG Educational Webinar Programme
Registration is now open for the Annual End of Life SIG meeting, taking place virtually in the afternoon of Thursday 21st of October.
The webinar will be split up into 2 parts. Part 1 (SIG Meeting) will discuss recent research and upcoming projects/studies, and part 2 (Joint Educational Webinar) alongside the BSG, is entitled “Integrating palliative care into the management of advanced liver disease”.
The meeting will take a slightly different format this year and you will need to register separately for both parts. Should you want to join both the meeting and the webinar you will require 2 joining links, 1 for each part of the meeting.
Delegates will receive their joining link 2 days before the meeting and webinar. If you register for 1 part of the meeting, you will receive 1 joining link. If you register for both parts of the meeting, you will receive 2 joining links.
BASL, BSG and SIG members are all welcome.
Please contact admin@basl.org.uk if you have any questions.
