Dear Readers,
As part of the celebrations honouring the 20th anniversary of the inpatient hospice, we had the pleasure of welcoming Prof. Dr Franco Rest, one of the pioneers of the hospice movement in Germany, as a speaker. The event also gave participants the opportunity to share their experiences; a moving and fitting moment considering Franco Rest gave the ceremonial address at the opening of our hospice back in August 1999. A number of questions were raised after the event, which I collected and sent to Prof. Dr Rest, whose responses I awaited with great anticipation. This newsletter includes an abbreviated English version of his fascinating answers to these questions. To mark this special occasion, I have decided to set aside our usual series of newsletter categories.
The year is slowly coming to an end. Thank you for following all the goings-on at Johannes Hospiz, which we have tried to present to you in the academy newsletters to some extent. I sincerely hope you will remain among our readers in 2020.
Wishing you a blessed advent and Christmas period and a great start to 2020.
Andreas Stähli
