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!

An article for @newsweek.com about palliative care, ordinary dying and underfunding across the UK www.newsweek.com/i-witnessed-...
I witnessed a peaceful death—it made me question our approach to dying
Why do people here know so little about what ordinary or natural dying looks like?

Our common denominator is that in our field much better evidence is needed! Let`s strive to confirm or question our own #palliativecare paradigms. Not everything we learned from cancer may fully apply to other diagnoses. Note: Clemens et al, cited by Gallagher R.,studied exclusively cancer pts.
A nuanced response is warranted, but I lack the energy. In brief, the authors of the cited review themselves acknowledge that opioids are warranted for severe/refractory dyspnea when other treatments are optimized. That’s exactly when they should be used.
RCT’s can’t answer all clinical questions.

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.“

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!
