The German Society for Palliative Medicine (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Palliativmedizin, DGP) is a professional association dedicated to advancing palliative care in Germany. It brings together practitioners and specialists from medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, spiritual care, pharmacy, therapy, and other fields, promoting collaboration and respectful, person-centred support for people facing serious illness and their families. The DGP supports members through professional sections, working groups, regional representatives, events, and its journal, the Zeitschrift für Palliativmedizin.

Its educational services include training resources, curricula, and certification for courses, instructors, and palliative care services. The organisation also publishes guidelines, recommendations, practical tools, brochures, videos, and webinars for professionals, patients, and relatives. Its online directory helps people find hospice and palliative care services across Germany.

Through conferences, research initiatives, awards, media work, and public campaigns, the DGP promotes evidence-informed practice and greater understanding of palliative care. It also contributes to discussions on health policy, end-of-life care, and support for diverse patient groups
