This year’s Asia Pacific Hospice Conference (APHC), with the theme “Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts”, will be held in Singapore from July 26th to 29th. Early bird registration has been extended until May 29th. The conference programme is now available, and there are a number of pre-conference workshops and site visits, as well as sessions in Mandarin.  For more information, visit the conference website.
