Mission Statement
My experience in these years of attending as board member the EAPC activities can be an useful addition for continuing to serve our association moving into e new presidential mandate.
EAPC should be a driving force in helping the development of palliative care throughout Europe and the world. The mission of EAPC should promote the professional forces of palliative care while keeping a strong commitment to the original inspiration, the culture and the revolutionary message of the hospice movement including the role of non-profit organizations and volunteers.
I would like to contribute to the efforts of EAPC especially in keeping and strengthening the bonds between EAPC and national palliative care association and in being instrumental for the many national European association, backing up their needs according to the diversity of each regional palliative care program, and also by promoting organization and clinical standards at the European level.
The Spectrum of EAPC activities should continue to encompass the basic needs of newborn programs, the definition of educational curricula as far as the widening of the scientific basis of palliative medicine and palliative care, also sustaining the recognition of palliative care at the academic level and lobbying political decisions about health care, education and research resource allocation that favours the palliative care field.
