Each year PRC organizes a seminar, with the aim of presenting the newest research within the area of palliative care, symptom management and patient-centred care. The PRC seminar also aims to facilitate networking and collaboration locally, nationally and internationally. This year’s seminar will consist of a three-day programme, with the first day including sessions dedicated to two European-funded projects: MyPath and JANE2. The scientific program is based on invited speakers and submitted abstracts focusing on palliative and patient-centred cancer care.
