The April Clinical ECHO is focussed on populations who may not sit comfortably within traditional Palliative Care systems and services.

Matt takes a look at the rapidly increasing number of synthetic “recreational”drugs and the challenges in delivering Palliative Care to patients who are using such medications  both from a symptom management viewpoint as well as in terms of keeping staff, patients and families “safe.” Kate looks at a paper from Canada looking at the factors surrounding the concept of homelessness and the definitions useful to organisations seeking to help those termed by society at large as “homeless”.

Audrey Roulston looks at deaths in Prisons across the UK in a study examining all such deaths over a four year period.

We also celebrate the first ever Greener Palliative Care Awards with Kate Crossland who explains the award system and why it has been created.

Finally we here from Anita on the work being done to improve the career development pathway of palliative care nurses in England, work which is due to report back by the end of July.
