2012
February
Transitional Care - Fact or fantasy?
What do people really need?
24 February 2012 £90 St Christopher’s Hospice,
London
This day will present the findings
a number of projects run by St Christopher’s Hospice
and both the Teenage Cancer Trust and Demelza House children’s
hospice. Results from a number of focus groups with teenagers
and young adults will be presented, as well as a dynamic project
run together with patients from the Teenage Cancer Trust and
St Christopher’s Hospice and the BRIT school of performing
arts, Croydon. In reality, are the gaps that exist in the
care of teenagers and young adults coming to the end of their
life exacerbated by the attitudes, competences and confidence
of professionals rather than by the needs of users themselves?
This day includes:
- What do young patients want from professionals
and the care environment?
- Effective collaboration between adult
and children’s services
- Managing the transition
- Showcasing ground-breaking patient-led
projects

A decrease in the hypoaesthesia will at the same time cause
a decrease in their chronic neuropathic pain.
The course, which will be taking place in March 2012, in Switzerland,
will consist in theoretical and practical aspect of the Somatosensory
Rehabilitation. It has been taught for the past ten years
in French and in German.
This course is opened to the graduate therapists (occupational
