Loes is a registered nurse and junior researcher at Nivel in the Netherlands. For the last six years she has worked in homecare where she has cared for many people with dementia. She found that although most desired to stay at home until the end of life, this was not realised for many. Some patients lived at home until the end of life with no family caregiver, whilst others had family carers but did not stay at home. This sparked her interest to study living at home with advanced dementia. During this conference, she will present her study on the circumstances that either contribute to, or hamper, living at home with advanced dementia. Loes values patient centred care and -research. Other research interests are quality of care at the end of life and patient safety. Currently Loes studies the quality of care and adverse events at the end of life in Dutch hospitals. Besides her work as a researcher, she works in hospice and homecare as a registered nurse.

My name is Maryher Delphin Peña; I was born in Venezuela and raised in Europe. I attended San Pablo CEU University in Madrid-Spain, where I studied Psychology and later started my journey in Medical School with some rotations in the United States (Yale-University, Mount Sinai Hospital). I am currently living in Luxembourg, finishing my last year of Family Medicine-Residency at Université du Luxembourg, and working in the Geriatric Unit at Hôpital Kirchberg. I have had the great opportunity to live in different countries worldwide, which has given me the chance to gain a multicultural background, learn from different cultures, and see human beings from different perspectives. Family Medicine allows me to continue this process and see the human being as a whole. The current COVID19 pandemic has highlighted certain weaknesses in our global medical response and has reinforced that Family Medicine plays a vital role in our society and a significant role in Primary Care. Research is a way to develop and improve our service. This motivates me to learn more about research, and no better way to start but with small participation in WONCA Conference.
