[Parkinson's disease: intrinsically palliative care]

Multidimensional, chronic, progressive and incurable, Parkinson's disease is, by definition, a palliative disease, and this from the moment of diagnosis. This vision, relatively new to neurology, calls for a paradigm shift, as well as a dual medical-paramedical and home-hospital alliance. This approach allows us to better understand the specificities of Parkinson's disease and its treatments in terms of palliative issues.

[The evolution of nursing education in France]

Changes in nursing education are closely linked to changes in the health care system. The nursing profession must indeed continue to occupy a pivotal position within the health system and its representatives must be able to continue their studies to complement their nursing skills with other disciplines. This will require the issuance of a "real" nursing degree by the university and the updating of the students' referential, so that it is consistent with the development of the profession and the work in interprofessionality.

[The advanced practice nurse as a health care influencer]

The skills that advanced practice nurses use with patients, health care professionals and within the health care system enable them to exercise real leadership. The use of conceptual models and theories in nursing, tools for tracking and valuing clinical judgment, and nursing diagnoses and other concepts are essential to guaranteeing their disciplinary identity and ensuring interprofessional collaboration.

[History of a vaccination of proximity]

The Grand-Est region was one of the first affected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in March 2020. The liberal nurses were in the first line to bring their competences to the service of the patients. Motivated and involved, they took the initiative to open a vaccination center in January 2021 and demonstrated the added value of working together. Sharing of experience by a private nurse in this region.

[Territorial professional health communities in close proximity to patients]

Territorial professional health communities have been set up by liberals healthcare professionals who, maneuvering this recent mechanism, are committed to improving care and coordinating patient care in their territories, at the crossroads of the city and the hospital. Feedback from a Breton team.

[Access to care service, a new city-hospital partnership]

The access to care service is a joint regulation of calls to the Centre 15 and to the 116 117. The objective is to make the care pathway more fluid and to improve the orientation of the user through the collaboration of hospital and city health professionals to take care of emergencies and requests for unscheduled care.

[Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Therapy of Psychotic Disorders in the Elderly]

Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Therapy of Psychotic Disorders in the Elderly Abstract. Psychotic disorders in the elderly cover a wide range of causes and manifestations. They often occur as part of a depression, dementia, substance abuse or delirium. While psychosis can occur with a first manifestation in advanced age, many patients with chronic psychotic disorders reach a high age. Many elderly individuals are also affected by cognitive impairment and somatic conditions, making a third-party history most relevant. The associated changes in life and the complexity of the individual situation needs to be integrated into the diagnosis and treatment. The presented recommendations have been developed under the lead of the Swiss Society of Old Age Psychiatry (SGAP) in collaboration with the Swiss Association of Nurses (SBK) and the subcommittees for gerontological and psychiatric nursing of the association of nursing science (VFP) as well as further professional societies. We aim to make current knowledge concerning diagnosis and treatment available to the interprofessional teams working in in- and outpatients' settings.

[Training through simulation in multi-professional groups]

The effective management of an emergency situation requires optimal collaboration between the different players present. Training through simulation in multi-professional groups is an apposite way of developing collaborative competencies.

[Simulation in health care, a partnership between a training institute and a health care facility]

A system of collaboration around simulation, between a health care facility and a training institute, has been put in place. It has enabled the challenges for both institutions to be identified, thereby confirming the need to continue this project. In this context, interprofessionalality and intergenerationality are key elements.

[Simulation in health care and inter-professionality in initial training]

In a context aiming to improve risk management through effective team communication, the development of inter-professional pedagogical sessions is a lever to be developed in order to construct collective competency during initial training.
