Background
Over
the last decade, Europe has grown to become a unified community
that strengthens economic cooperation, political harmony and
cultural exchange.
As
a consequence of, and in response to this societal phenomenon,
the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) has included
under its organizational umbrella an increasing number of
national and regional palliative care associations, and it
has represented many more individual members from different
countries over the years.
The
gaining of knowledge and understanding of the development
of programmes to promote end of life and palliative care,
and more effective pain relief across Europe has become increasingly
valuable to governments and policy makers committed to improving
national or regional health care systems.
An
opportunity to share information and experience with other
colleagues is encouraging to European health professionals
interested in appropriately approaching end of life care matters
in an ever more culturally diverse working environment.
Reliable
information on the development and provision of palliative
care across Europe, however, remains scattered. For this reason,
in June 2003, the EAPC Board agreed to the creation of an
official Task Force to research palliative care developments
in the European region.
