Developing complex interventions for the integration of palliative care across clinical settings: An overview of ethical perspectives and implications

The development of complex interventions for the integration of palliative care in all clinical settings is a means of improving healthcare and prioritizing patient- and family-centered approaches. This is particularly the case for patients with complex palliative care needs, e.g. in intensive care, burn intensive care, nursing homes, psychiatry, pulmonology and oncology.

EU-funded projects such as In-Touch (people with advanced dementia), EU PAL-COPD (people with advanced COPD) and Pal-Cycles (people with advanced cancer) will be presented. Ethical implications (e.g. ethics of care, equity and justice, decision-making processes) and research ethics challenges arising during the implementation of these projects will be explored.

Organized by the Palliative Care and Support Service, the Institute for Higher Education and Research in Healthcare and the Institute of Humanities in Medicine, Professor Sandra Pereira's seminar will be presented in English and in a hybrid format.
