We will be joined by Prof Fliss Murtagh, Professor of Palliative Care and Director of the Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre, and Dr Alison Landon, Palliative Care Physician at St Christopher’s Hospice, for a workshop giving an overview of patient-centred outcome measures (PCOMs), including the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale (IPOS) and Australia-modified Karnofsky Performance Scale (AKPS).

We will explore what they are, why they are important, how to ask and record the data, and the clinical reality of how they are used in practice.

This workshop is aimed at frontline palliative care clinicians who would like to learn more about, or refresh their thinking on, how to collect and use this data. We are particularly keen to engage newer colleagues in this conversational workshop.
