We sincerely congratulate our EUPCA alumnus Georg Bollig on receiving the Order of Merit of the State of Schleswig Holstein. He supports the efforts of the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament to improve the palliativecare and outpatient and inpatient hospice care in the state. He is the initiator of the “Letzte Hilfe Kurse” (last aid courses) and has been advocating for years to take away people’s fear of coming into contact with death. He has successfully managed to arouse interest in his work beyond the borders of Schleswig-Holstein and Germany, he has also succeeded in arousing interest in his work beyond the borders of Schleswig-Holstein and Germany. “Letzte Hilfe Kurse” are not only offered nationwide, but are also attracting great interest in European countries. To date, more than 28,000 have taken part in “Letzte Hilfe Kurse” and more than 2,000 have been trained as course trained as course leaders.

We would like to congratulate our EUPCA alumnus Dr. Georg Bollig who received the Heinrich Pera award for his initiative “Last Aid”. The award is given to those who support palliative and hospice values and help society embody these values.
His initiative “Letzte Hilfe” (translated: “Last Aid”) offers courses teaching palliative care and end of life care skills to medical staff as well as family members of those who are facing death.
More than 30.000 participants have already benefitted from the courses and the initiative has expanded to 17 countries in total.

We want to congratulate our EUPCA alumnus Dr. Juan Pablo Leiva, who recently got elected as the new President for SECPAL – the Spanish Society of Palliative Care!

A specialist in Family and Community Medicine, Juan Pablo works in the Support and Palliative Care Team at Manacor Hospital, Mallorca. He believes that palliative care is a strategic key to the humanization of health and says that “we are living a complex historical moment that can be illuminated through working in interdisciplinary teams, and it’s time for healing through leading care for the patients and their families.”

We are positive that he will fulfill his new position outtandingly and wish him all the best!
