Report
3rd
of
the EAPC
Bergen,
Norway, June 1994
The
3rd Congress was held in Bergen, Norway, in June 1994. Palliative
care is already well accepted by carers in Scandinavia. Due
to the fact that the host country was Norway, this Congress
was intended more as a specialist meeting. The Congress was
honoured by the attendance of Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent, the Patron of the EAPC, with the active participation
of the Mayor of Bergen.
In
Belgium, a country with a small population, intense media
coverage was not to be expected. For this reason, and due
to the difficult economic situation in 1994 and the high prices
in Scandinavia, the number of participants was far less than
for the other two Congresses. The official language was English.
Thirty-nine
invited speakers participated in the programme and 109 abstracts
were accepted as poster presentations. There were approximately
501 participants from 21 European and six other countries.
The Chair of the Organising Committee was Dr Tor Jacob Moe
from Norway and the Chair of the Scientific Committee was
Professor Charles-Henri Rapin from Switzerland.
