Séminaire académique en Médecine palliative - Prof. Dr. Sandra Pereira

Developing complex interventions for the integration of palliative care across clinical settings is a way to improve healthcare and prioritize patient-centered and family-centered approaches. This is particularly the case of patients with complex palliative care needs; for instance, in Intensive Care, Burn Intensive Care, Nursing Homes, Psychiatry, Pneumology, and Oncology.

EU-funded projects, such as In-Touch (persons with advanced dementia), EU PAL-COPD (persons with advanced COPD), and Pal-Cycles (persons with advanced cancer) will be showcased. The ethical implications (e.g., ethics of care, equity and justice, decision-making processes) and research ethics challenges occurring during the implementation of these projects will be explored.

Organized by the Palliative and Supportive Care Service, the Institute of Higher Education and Research in Healthcare , and the Institute of Humanities in Medicine, the seminar by Prof. Dr. Sandra Pereira will be delivered in English and in a hybrid format.
