Celebrate World Hospice & Palliative Care Day 2025 with 50% Off PALPRAC Courses on EMGuidance Academy

On 11 October 2025, the world will come together to mark World Hospice & Palliative Care Day (WHPCD). This year’s theme says it all: “Achieving the Promise: Universal Access to Palliative Care.”  And what better way to honour that than by making learning more accessible?  To celebrate, PALPRAC is offering 50% off all our authored courses on EMGuidance Academy – from now until Saturday 11 October.  The special is open to everyone in the healthcare space, not just PALPRAC members. And here’s the best part: once you’ve bought a course, you can complete it in your own time, at your own pace.
📢 Spread the word – the more healthcare professionals who upskill in palliative care, the more patients and families stand to benefit.

Why this matters

At PALPRAC, we believe that every healthcare provider should have access to practical, evidence-based learning. Education is a vital step toward making palliative care available to all who need it.

Our growing library of online courses supports clinicians in developing confidence and skills for the real-world challenges they face when caring for patients with life-limiting illness. By investing in knowledge, we’re investing in the promise of universal access to palliative care.
