Intensive Course on Ethics in Dementia Care

Dear Colleague,

The Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law of the KU Leuven is organizing the 7^th edition of the Intensive Course on Ethics in Dementia Care (Leuven, Belgium, 6-9 July 2021) in mixed (on campus and online) format.

The objective of the course is to foster exchanges on foundational, clinical-ethical and organizational-ethical approaches to dementia care practices. During the Course, national and international experts will give presentations on various ethical topics in the domain of dementia care. There will be time for intensive discussions. The language of instruction will be English.

The Course is of interest to participants from diverse professional backgrounds, such as medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, gerontology, health care administration, philosophy and theology, and to PhD students undertaking courses of study in these areas. Detailed information on program, funding opportunities, registration and payment can be found at our website www.cbmer.be under Ethics in Dementia Course or in the enclosed brochure.

The Course will take place in hybrid (on campus and online) format. This means that the Course will be held on campus, but if you are not able to attend in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is the possibility to attend online.

Kind regards,

Professor Chris Gastmans
