In the framework of the PACE project on Palliative Care for Older People in care and nursing homes in Europe, AGE Platform Europe organises a conference on 15 June 2016 at the Brussels Office of the Council of Europe. This high-level conference will highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to palliative care and how palliative care is related to other policies and interventions for the improvement of the quality of life of older people, including the access to quality health and long-term care.
