Mission Statement
Special interests in Palliative Care and in the EAPC
My research interests are cancer pain mangement with a focus on opioid therapy, assessment and treatment of fatigue and cachexia, pain and symptom assessment, guideline development and quality assurance in palliative care.
I had the honour to organise the 1st Research forum of the EAPC in the year 2000 in Berlin as well as the 9th Congress of the EAPC in 2005 in Aachen together with Friedeman Nauck.
My agenda for the next years on the EAPC board will include short-term and long-term goals. In the next months and years, EAPC should provide guidance on key issues of palliative care, in collaboration with other associations whereever possible. In the next decade, EAPC will have to extend its network with other regional associations and strengthen its links with the national associations in order to start political advocacy for palliative care development throughout Europe.
I also would like to put some emphasis on the cultural differences between European countries and on the influence of these differences on palliative care in Europe and abroad. Other areas would be advertisement the coordination of organisational and educational networks and focus groups.
