Helping people at the end of their lives - Hospice and Palliative Care in Europe
Between February 2003 and October 2004 a systematic, empirical study of hospice and related development in Europe was undertaken; the report of that study will be available in five different languages - see publication dates of the different editions below.
Gronemeyer (sociologist, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, Germany) et al. explain the results of the study in two parts:
- A comprehensive analysis of today's situation of palliative care in Europe is provided, including previously unidentified statistics and
- Standardised profiles of 16 European countries are presented – that is demographics, the history of hospice and palliative care, the number of current services, funding, education and training of professional staff and the role of volunteers, with an in-depth case portrayal of particular services.
More information about the book and the project will be available in English language in June 2005.
