Securing medical care in residential and nursing homes
In times of a shortage of specialists and in particular the reduction in the number of GPs and home doctors, it is all the more important that we think together about future medical care and integrate the best solutions into everyday care home life. The symposium is intended to provide you as a care home manager with the added value of being able to prepare for the future in the best possible way and to exchange ideas with like-minded people.
The topics are based on the three major, important pillars of medical, psychiatric care and the legal aspects, as well as highlighting the issue of patient safety. We will present and jointly develop constructive, cost-effective solutions in a combination of lectures and interactive discussion rounds.
The aim is also for you and your company to benefit as much as possible from the symposium. We therefore ask you to think about a specific “pain” or a specific challenge from your company in advance and bring it to the discussion round. Afterwards, you are cordially invited to an aperitif and personal discussions.
