IMPACT and EURO IMPACT

Just recently, European Commission lunched projects – IMPACT and EURO IMPACT. They bring together important research partners and stakeholders in European palliative and end-of-life care. During an invitational conference, last October 2013, they have launched a declaration with 10 recommendations for policy- and decision makers in order to improve the quality of and access to palliative care in an age-friendly Europe. These recommendations are based on recent scientific insights. The more signatures this declaration receives, the stronger the message to the policy and decision makers will be.

I strongly recommend signing the declaration at http://palliativecare2020.eu/declaration/ and spreading it to your national and international contacts.
