European Association for Palliative Care EAPC Projects on older
people Quality of Life in Old Age until the End Dialogue between
Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine At this occasion, the EAPC and
the European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS) launched a
joint manifesto promoting a European action plan on palliative care
and geriatrics.European Union Geriatric Medicine Society (EUGMS)
The objective is to improve the quality of life of elderly patients
with chronic diseases and cut back on health care costs by up to 60
per cent. Its ultimate scope is to insert geriatric palliative care
in the EU agenda, hoping it becomes a human right one day. The
manifesto can be downloaded from the EAPC website There is urgency
to develop palliative care services for elderly patients, experts
say. For this reason, the Vice-President of the European Parliament
Gianni Pittella, in collaboration with the Maruzza Lefebvre
Foundation, promoted a first ever dialogue between palliative
medicine and geriatrics at an EU level. The event took place at the
European Parliament in Brussels on September 25 th 2012.Maruzza
Lefebvre Foundation The event is embedded into the framework of the
European Year for Active Ageing and Intergenerational
Solidarity.

European Association for Palliative Care EAPC Projects
Palliative care for infants, children, and young people Mapping of
paediatric palliative care services in Europe. The aim of this
project is to build a map of services of PPC present in Europe by
collecting data relative to the organization of each service and
its role in training and research (if any). The objectives are: To
gather information on paediatric palliative care (PPC) provision in
Europe. To identify possible critical aspects in the number and
organisation of PPC services in relation to the estimated needs. To
propose the data obtained as a guide to optimise the use of
available resources. To diffuse the information at all levels
(administrators, health providers, professionals, and the general
public).
