The 2024 symposium built on the spirit of our past symposia (see links below) and was hosted at our No 17 conference venue at St Columba’s Hospice Care in Edinburgh. As a hybrid event we welcomed both in-person and online participants and speakers. The theme “Creative health, care and dying” sought to bring to the fore and critically explore diverse practice, research and policy drivers that shape and influence the arts in palliative and end-of-life care. As a vibrant and brave space for dialogue among people from different professional, disciplinary and sociocultural contexts, it featured different types of presentations and creative workshops. Topics included stories and examples, new emerging practices, critical perspectives on evidence, illness and culture, as well as co-production and wider professionalisation issues for the arts in palliative care.

It's our intention that the practice and knowledge shared in each symposium will feed into action for the advancement of the arts in the communities we all serve and their engagement with change, loss and grief. You can access all past symposium booklets by clicking on the links below.
Beautifully organised, convivial, stimulating and held in a lovely place.
