Welcome!

It is with great delight that I welcome you to the International Society of Advance Care Planning and End of Life Care’s third annual conference in Chicago, USA. The success of our previous conferences in Australia and the UK is reflective of the increasing importance that the international healthcare sector is placing on this pertinent area of patient care.

As we continuously aim to provide an ever-increasing high standard of care to our patients, we recognise the need to research, examine, develop and learn with each other. At ACPEL 2012, we will therefore hear from a wide range of international speakers who will provide us with the latest developments and practices in advance care planning, end of life care, and its associated disciplines. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago in May 2012, as we collectively commit to “raising the bar!”
