Mission Statement
My objective is to contribute to the growth and dissemination of Palliative Care in Europe by actively working within the EAPC organization. With a decade of clinical experience as a palliative care nurse, I have gained valuable skills in the caring for terminally ill patients and their families. During this time I have been participating in various local and national workgroups.
This has given me insights and experience into the opportunities and challenges of working in multicultural- and multilingual teams, as well as the chance to contribute to the development of Palliative Care on an institutional and organisational level. Within the context of continuing education (Master of Advanced Studies in Palliative Care) I am currently in the process of designing and conducting a research in the field of Palliative Sedation Therapy – ethics and ethical decisions at the end of life are at the core of my interests.
I speak fluent French, English, Italian and German and hope to contribute to a fruitful exchange of information and ideas among the various countries. As a nurse actively involved in receiving and providing continuous education in Palliative Care and with years of clinical work, I am hoping to bring a patient-centred, holistic vision to EAPC and to contribute in a meaningful way. I embrace the organization’s vision of promoting palliative care in Europe and worldwide, so that high quality care is accessible to all.
