The Association for Paediatric Palliative Medicine represents doctors working in paediatric palliative care across all care settings in the UK
APPM represents all Paediatricians and GPs working in the area of Paediatric Palliative Medicine in hospital, hospice and community settings. It seeks to support practice, service delivery and training for all doctors working in this area of medicine.
The APPM was formed in November 2009 following a merger of the Children's Hospice UK doctors' group and the British Society for Paediatric Palliative Medicine (BSPPM).
