The National Association of Palliative Care Educators (NAPCE) serves to provide a forum in which palliative care educators from across the UK can share and disseminate ideas and research, debate topical issues, support and network with each other and to provide a collective voice at national level.

The association will act as a coordinating forum for the growing number of regional groups. Membership is open to individuals whose job substantially involves palliative care education across multi- professional fields.

NAPCE is a registered charity and is affiliated to the Network of Professional Associations (www.helpthehospices.org.uk/NPA/index.asp) under the auspices of Help the Hospices.
