The terminal phase in people who are mentally incapacitated requires very careful action, in which maintenance of quality of life and pain management are central. In this interactive course, the expert speakers Annemarie den Dulk (geriatric specialist, palliative care physician, SCEN physician) and Ronald van Nordennen (geriatrics specialist, palliative care physician, SCEN physician) pay attention to questions such as:
- What considerations do you make in your treatment plan and when do (continuous/intermittent) palliative sedation, euthanasia or refraining from eating and drinking to hasten the end of life should be discussed in people who are mentally incapacitated?
- Euthanasia in case of insufficiency – how do you make this possible for your client?
In the afternoon, the participants of the day jointly reflect and discuss some recent statements by the Regional Euthanasia Review Committee (RTE) about situations in which patients were mentally incompetent. Participants are also expressly invited to bring in their own case histories.
Due to the interactive nature of this one-day course, there are a limited number of places available.
