Introduction Palliative medicine is evolving rapidly, with new treatments, research and clinical guidance continually shaping practice. At the same time, increasing patient complexity, multimorbidity and chronic disease present growing challenges for clinicians working in hospice and community settings. Designed for palliative care physicians and Clinical Nurse Specialists, the Hospice Clinicians Medical Update (HCMU) course provides practical, hospice-focused updates on key developments in general medicine relevant to daily clinical practice. It may be particularly valuable for clinicians who trained before the introduction of dual accreditation in Internal Medicine and Palliative Medicine, or those from diverse medical backgrounds. The course covers advances in treatment, emerging evidence, regulatory changes, and the assessment and management of acutely unwell patients with life-limiting illness. It offers a convenient way for busy clinicians to stay up to date, build confidence and enhance the quality and safety of care they provide. Course delegates will: Receive timely, evidence-based medical updates relevant to palliative care. Talks will cover cardiac dysfunction, management of advanced liver disease, anticoagulation in palliative medicine, substance misuse and EUPD. Participate in professional development and have the opportunity for discussion following each talk. Receive CPD credits: 5 category 1 (external) CPD credits Course convenors: Lead coordinator: Dr Becky Payne, Speciality Doctor, Royal Trinity Hospice.
