title: One chance to get it right.
abstract: Recently I chaired a conference hosted by the National Council for Palliative Care focusing on the issues of comorbidity and dying with dignity. Being a conference chair is one sure way of concentrating your mind and thoughts on speaker presentations because you have to pick up the threads, link speakers together and summarise the conference.
