24th Annual Moving Points in Palliative Care Conference – Four talks are available on YouTube.
In March 2018, over a hundred participants signed up for our 24th Annual Moving Points in Palliative Care Conference. The theme this year was on building resilience. Through the expert hands of Dr. Michael Kearney and Dr. Radhule Weininger, conference participants had a unique experience to explore the nurturing triad of mindfulness, self-compassion and nature connection.

The first ever ‘Rheum for Health Conference’ was held in the Education & Research Centre in December 2017. The conference was opened with an inspiring and thought provoking presentation on ‘The Power of Fat’ by the renowned Professor Donal O’Shea, HSE Clinical Lead for Obesity.
A key objective of the conference was to capture the multidisciplinary team approach to caring for patients with chronic illnesses.
