32nd National Congress of the SEEGG: “Ageing with purpose. New forms of longevity”

We are living in a time of profound social, cultural and demographic change, in which ageing is taking on new meanings. It is no longer simply a matter of adding years to life, but of giving value and meaning to each stage, exploring these new forms of longevity that pave the way for diverse forms of well-being, participation and personal growth.

The SEEGG organises this annual event with the aim of fostering a renewed perspective on old age, promoting geriatric nursing that supports the ageing process with care, knowledge and ethical commitment. To this end, these days in Pamplona provide a space for reflection and dialogue on the new challenges and opportunities presented by new forms of longevity, addressing essential topics such as dementia, healthy and active ageing, social and healthcare coordination, and meaningful ageing.

The following colleagues from Matia will be attending this event:

Presentation: A new model of care home: Care-provided housing. Enrike Etxeberria. Head of Architectural Design and Environments at Matia.

Workshop: Emotional intelligence in care: keys to caring without burning out. Rebeca García. Nurse. Head of Residential Nursing at Matia.

Poster presentations:

• Breaking the silence at the end of life: death as a taboo in palliative care. Hong Valbuena and Jaione Elexpuru.
• Nutritional and morphofunctional assessment in functional recovery following a hip fracture. Rebeca García Rodríguez.

At Matia, we are delighted to be taking part in a conference that invites us to rethink care and nursing practice from a positive, innovative and deeply humanistic perspective on ageing. Because caring for older people also means supporting them in their projects, recognising their contributions and promoting their active role.
