Marjon van Rijn (HvA): Journey to the end of life
Research indicates that healthcare professionals often struggle to initiate conversations about the wishes and preferences for care and treatment at the end of life with older people. A partial solution lies in providing training for these discussions within a safe learning environment by way of simulation education (virtual reality). This means that healthcare professionals can practice conversations about the end of life with older people in various scenarios. The aim is that all healthcare professionals know, and feel confident, how to timely have conversations about the last phase of life, so that older people receive care and treatment according to their wishes.
