Bienvenidos a Madrid! On behalf of the EAPC Board of Directors, I am delighted to welcome you to the IFEMA Congress centre and to the 15th EAPC World Congress. This Congress, as others, is the result of two years of planning, organisation, meetings, reflection, decision-making and finally, here we are! I am in no doubt that the 2017 Congress will demonstrate how, in so many ways, we are ‘progressing palliative care’. The choice of title is important. Both as an organisation and as a discipline, we are making progress. As I am sure you will experience over the three days of Congress, we continue to shape the global palliative care landscape in terms of research, education and clinical practice. This Congress is our opportunity to share and celebrate our work, to greet old friends, make new but ultimately to remember that our time together in Madrid demonstrates that in a myriad of ways, we have one goal: to promote the optimal care of patients and families living with chronic, life-limiting and life-threatening disease. And we should never forget that we do that well. The multidisciplinary nature of palliative care is the strength of our identity. I am particularly pleased that this Congress will honour the essential work of volunteers as a key component of that multidisciplinary team through launching a new EAPC charter on volunteerism. My particular thanks to Leena Peltaari, Ros Scott and EAPC Board Member, Catherine Walshe for bringing this important work to this point. As always, there are many people to thank. Not least is the Scientific Committee, ably led by Professor Dr. Christoph Ostgathe as Chair, and his team in Erlangen, Dr. Franziska Herbst and Ms. Andrea Scotti. Thank you all for your contribution, vision, leadership and tenacity in bringing this Congress to us. Equally important is the Local Organising Committee under the direction of Dr. Alberto Alonso Babarro and Mr. Carlos Alonso and SECPAL, without whom this Congress would not have been possible. Les damos las gracias por hacer posible este Congreso en España. Y a nuestros colegas españoles…Deseo dar una bienvenida especial a todos nuestros delegados de España y agradecerles la invitación a su hermoso país. And of course, thanks to the EAPC Head Office Team, Dr Julie Ling, Dr Amelia Giordano and Ms Eleanor Blake for their continuing work to support this Congress. The theologian and philosopher, Henri Nouwen exhorts us to ‘be sure that you make a difference in the world’. I hope that your time in Madrid helps you appreciate how you make that difference. I wish you a wonderful Congress and an enjoyable visit to this most wonderful city. Professor Philip J Larkin President, European Association for Palliative Care. 1 Welcome from the Chairs of the Scientific and Local Organising Committee Dear Congress Participant, On behalf of the EAPC Board and the organising committees we are delighted to welcome you to Madrid and the 15th World Congress of the European Association for Palliative Care. Throughout the world, palliative care is growing in strategic importance to health care delivery. In some countries, however, the development of quality-driven systems to meet the increasing need for best possible care for patients with advanced diseases and their families remains underdeveloped. Therefore, the title chosen for this congress is “Progressing Palliative Care”. “Progress” stands for the better transition of evolving evidence into practice, timely integration of palliative care into general care, further service development with adequate access to specialised care and the openness to new technologies in our field. The congress provides the opportunity for you to discuss advances in the field of palliative care, to debate how access to palliative care is developing globally, to assess the integration of palliative care across healthcare systems and ultimately to affirm, develop and change our multi-professional practice. Societal involvement in palliative care continues to be critical to broadening the development and the vision and scope of palliative care. The launch, at this congress, of the EAPC Madrid Charter on Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care the ‘Voice of Volunteering’ recognises the impact that volunteers have on patients, families and the wider hospice and palliative care community. In particular, the charter acknowledges the role that volunteers make to the patient and family experience. From the first EAPC congress in Paris in 1988 to Copenhagen in 2015, the EAPC World Congresses have developed and evolved and continue to provide a platform for all of those working in palliative care. More than 2500 delegates representing a range of disciplines from many countries in Europe and from further afield will attend this EAPC World congress. This makes it the ideal forum for the exchange of new information, the discussion of new research results, and the provision of up-to-date education and training. Additionally, attending the EAPC World Congress also provides a unique opportunity to network and meet with colleagues, clinicians, caregivers, researchers and educators in palliative care from across the globe to exchange knowledge and to share experiences. Madrid is honoured and proud to host the EAPC World Congress and wishes a warm welcome to the global palliative care community. The cosmopolitan capital of Spain is an open and thriving metropolis, which has embraced change whilst maintaining strong Spanish tradition. Madrid is a beautiful city with many world-class attractions and it is the only capital city in the world that has six World Heritage Cities only one hour by car from the city centre. We hope you will find time to take advantage of the climate, food, and culture that Madrid provides. We are delighted that HRH Queen Letizia of Spain is the President of Honour for the EAPC- conference 2017.
