2025 Conference

We are delighted to invite you to NHS Education for Scotland’s sixth Bereavement Education Conference – "Bereavement as a Kaleidoscope: An Inclusive Approach for All."

Join us for a free, one day virtual event for health and social care staff on Tuesday 11th November 2025.

Please click here to register. Registration closes on Tuesday 4th November. 

There will be a number of plenary and parallel sessions throughout the day.

We’re delighted to announce Helen Fielding as a key speaker. She is author of the ‘Bridget Jones Diary’ series, including the recent screen adaptation of ‘Mad About the Boy’ which includes a focus on the title character’s experience of bereavement. We’ll also be hearing from Professor Lucy Easthope (Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath), in her plenary ‘Come What May: Learning from a Life in Disaster.

Full programme details can be found here.

The parallel session abstract submission deadline has now passed but you can still submit a poster abstract - an opportunity to showcase bereavement work going on across Scotland and beyond.

Further information about the conference, including how to submit a poster and the relevant deadlines can be found on the NES Events website.
