Finally #EAPC2025 starts! The World Congress for #PALLIATIVECARE was planned in #HELSINKI for 2021 but was postponed due to the #pandemic. That it starts now here feels soothing … Looking forward to a great program, to meeting more than 2000 colleagues from all over world and to enjoying Helsinki!

Happy to see that our paper on novel recommendations for digitally supported multi-professional collaboration tailored to the specific requirements of #palliativecare and beyond is now published. #bidt #FAU #dgpalliativmedizin #BZKF #Erlangen #EAPC www.frontiersin.org/journals/dig...

SZ vom 3.3.2025: “Es war ein in jeder Hinsicht würdeloses Schauspiel für die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Ein Desaster für die Menschen in der Ukraine. Und ein Fest für Wladimir Putin.”

We have to be critical towards our own #palliativecare paradigms! The evidence for #opioids for breathlessness in #heartfailure is questionable. A recent review states that „it may only be the very last option if other options have failed or in case of an emergency.“ heart.bmj.com/content/109/...

Are #PalliativeCare needs in patients with #dementia under-recognized? The low number of dementia diagnoses in the German Hospice and Palliative Care Registry could be due to barriers to accessing specialized services for people with dementia. Lets not forget this group! rdcu.be/d2WIG
