From 16 to 18 November 2023, the XXX SICP National Congress was held, as usual in Riccione. An anniversary and also an important milestone that gathered a large audience with an ever-increasing participation, a program full of contributions and ideas dedicated to the many themes that revolve around palliative care, in which our Foundation also participated.

An element that is the beating heart of a modern and humanitarian approach to care. This premise was not adopted by chance: the word “dignity” was carefully chosen and placed at the center of the title, in an intentional connection and union with a second equally significant term, “complexity”. In this formulation, the union of dignity and complexity aims to summarize the intricate and subtle vastness of such a delicate topic as that of palliative care.

Thus, in this context of so much participation and involvement, palliative care becomes not only a topic of in-depth study, but also a shared human experience, a collective journey that embraces dignity in all its facets, tackling complexity with a competent awareness in building a bridge between medicine and humanity.
