Programme description

We offer the possibility of assisting in patient palliative care through three different resources: in their own home (HHU), at our outpatient clinic, and on our hospital ward. We provide comprehensive patient care across all spheres and manage symptom control according to each circumstance. We accompany the patient and their environment in decision-making regarding end-of-life scenarios. The student will gain a holistic approach to the needs arising in palliative care and how to provide responses.
