Welcome to the Association for Palliative Medicine Special Interest Forum for Undergraduate Medical Education

We are a group that is open to everyone with an interest in teaching Palliative Care to medical students.

We have an email list by which we keep in touch with group members. If you would like to add your name or that of a colleague to our email list, please email Professor Stephen Barclay at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

We hold a national conference once a year. Details of our previous conferences are available via the “Annual Conferences” tab.

The 2020 conference will be held via Zoom on Thursday October 8th: the programme is available here.

On Friday March 13^th we are holding a day workshop in London to write Single Best Answer Palliative Care questions for medical student Final Examinations, the Medical School Council Assessment Alliance national question bank and the future General Medical Council Medical Licensing Exam. Details of the day can be found here and the online booking form is available here

The updated APM Curriculum for Undergraduate Medical Education and that Curriculum mapped onto the GMC’s  “Tomorrow’s Doctors”. are available via the “APM Curriculum” tab.

Each UK Medical School has been invited to supply information for the “Medical School Information” tabs. This supplies information concerning the lead teachers in each school, with a summary of their curriculum.

The co-leads are Prof John Ellershaw (Liverpool) and Prof Stephen Barclay (Cambridge).
