Palliative care, a matter of SENSE? Colloquium 2026

Save the date: 24/10/2026

Suffering and death are universal realities that force us to rethink our practices. This conference offers a space to reflect on profound insights in order to better support palliative care patients and their loved ones.

Who is it for?
This event is open to all those involved in end-of-life care: doctors, nurses, paramedics and family carers.

The programme
High-level experts will share their perspectives — medical, philosophical, legal, psychological and spiritual — to address the complexity of palliative care. The day will be punctuated by testimonials and artistic breaks, designed as moments of respite and renewal.
