SUMMARY:Event on Equitable Access to Palliative Care in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by MEP Veryga\, in collaboration with the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC). \nAccess to quality palliative care remains unequal across Europe\, particularly for people living in rural\, remote\, and underserved communities. Patients with serious illnesses and their families continue to face barriers such as limited healthcare resources\, insufficient awareness\, financial constraints\, and geographical distance\, preventing them from receiving timely\, compassionate\, and person-centred care. \nThis event\, hosted by MEP Veryga in collaboration with the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC)\, will raise awareness of the importance of equitable access to palliative care and explore strategies to ensure that everyone can access appropriate support\, regardless of where they live or at what stage of illness they need it. \nBringing together policymakers\, healthcare professionals\, experts\, community representatives\, patients\, and caregivers\, the event will provide a platform to exchange knowledge\, share best practices\, and discuss innovative approaches to strengthening palliative care provision across Europe. Discussions will focus on addressing existing inequalities\, improving awareness and availability of services\, strengthening healthcare systems\, and fostering cooperation between European and national stakeholders. \nBy encouraging collaboration and supporting policy development\, the event aims to advance the integration of palliative care into healthcare systems and promote policies that uphold dignity\, quality of life\, and the needs and preferences of patients and their families. \nUltimately\, the event will reaffirm that palliative care is an essential component of universal health coverage and that everyone should have access to compassionate\, high-quality\, person-centred care\, wherever they live and whenever they need it. \nWhen: Thursday @ 9:00 \nWhere: SPINELLI 1H1

SUMMARY:The Protection and Resilience of Democratic Institutions in Poland
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed.  \n  \nOn Thursday\, the Polish delegation of the ECR Group will host a conference examining the constitutional and legal implications of recent events surrounding Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. \nOn 30 October\, the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk used police forces to facilitate the unlawful takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal by individuals whose legal status as judges is disputed\, while preventing lawfully elected judges from exercising their constitutional duties. \nThe ECR Group considers these actions a serious attack on judicial independence and the rule of law. The conference will provide an opportunity to examine the developments\, discuss their constitutional implications and address the wider challenges facing the independence of democratic institutions in Poland. \nWhen: Thursday @ 13:15 \nWhere: SCHOLL 08U107
