Om woorden in daden te vertalen en de verandering te zijn die we willen zien, is Networklearning een eigen milieuproject aan huis gestart op de grond rondom het woonpand, het voormalige Gemeentelijk Gym Lokaal, Smeerlaan 1 in Schoorl. Zo houden we de ontwikkelingen goed in de gaten!
How many of you are involved in the care of people at the end of their lives? They may be 80 or 18. They may have cancer or AIDS or pneumonia. You want to help them, and their carers, to make the last months easier. You want them to have a good standard of physical, mental and spiritual care, with pain relief and medication. The name for all of this is Palliative Care . There is a World Association for Palliative Care ( thewpca.org ). Now they are making their resources more available in more languages.
Caring for people with Physical Disabilities: Best Practice in Person-centred Care is now available in Arabic. Thanks to Mubarak for this translation.
