• We have had two papers accepted for the European Association of Palliative Care Conference 2017 in Madrid. The first paper is titled: ‘Who Do You Think You Are? Anticipatory Digital Legacy Planning and how it can work’. The second paper is titled ‘Hashtag #DayOfTheDead- Attitudes towards death ,on the internet and social media microblogs’. The papers authors are James Norris (Digital Legacy Association) Jake Strand (Mayo Clinic) and Mark Taubert Velindre Cancer Centre (NHS Trust). We will also be presenting at the EAPC.
• The Digital Legacy Conference 2017 will take place later this year. For the last two years it was hosted at UCL Partners and St Joseph’s respectively.
