It was wonderful to present in the ‘What matters most’ session at the #SIOG2024 meeting about the importance of patient priorities in decision-making and using health outcome prioritization to start this conversation. Thanks to the organizing committee for the invitation!

👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️Such interesting perspectives discussed during the MDT Rectal Cancer session - how to treat frail older patients with rectal cancer? Surgery/radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy?

Great panel!

Beste @albertheijn wordt het niet hoog tijd om de enorme hoeveel plastic in jullie groenafdeling te verminderen? Losse paprika’s in plastic, sla in plastic, avocado’s in plastic, komkommer in plastic. Dat is toch om boos en droevig van te worden..

Vandaag promoveert UMCG-internist ouderengeneeskunde Suzanne Festen @drsuzz. Met een passend behandelplan kan de zorg voor oudere patiënten met kanker aanzienlijk verbeterd worden. Ook zorgt het voor minder complicaties en kortere ziekenhuisopnames: https://t.co/rSpQvmmUCG

Aanstaande internisten-ouderen en klinisch geriaters luiden gezamenlijk de noodklok over de toekomst van de ouderenzorg. De grote grijze golf nadert snel, maar ook voor hen is er toenemende krapte op de arbeidsmarkt
