CONFERENCES
I have examined the abstracts of 3 conferences in the past year that had a focus either on death and dying or on palliative care. I have found what seem to be the most relevant abstracts on bereavement issues. These are all short but provide some idea of research that may not yet be written up as articles. If you would like to read any of the abstracts contact me. Email: d.brady@stchristophers.org.uk or Phone 0044 20 8768 4660
