Call for papers for the Journée francophone internationale 2024

The Réseau québécois de soins palliatifs et de fin de vie (RQSPAL) and the Plateforme nationale pour la recherche sur la fin de vie are organizing the fourth edition of their virtual International Francophone Day Soins palliatifs et Fin de vie on February 8, 2024 on the theme "Soins palliatifs et de fin de vie à domicile : constats, défis et perspectives".

The organizing committee is looking for five speakers for this event. We are looking for established researchers with in-depth knowledge and data/results to present in connection with the theme.

This online scientific day will be an opportunity to showcase what is being done in Quebec and France in palliative and end-of-life care research. Five 45-minute lectures are scheduled, with 30-minute presentations followed by a 15-minute discussion period. It is essential to respect the discussion period, as the event is intended to be interactive.
