Don't miss this great opportunity and update your knowledge as an expert in complex chronic patients in home hospitalization. All of this will make you a much more competent physical therapist”

Demographic change requires an extreme rethinking of physiotherapeutic care to focus more on patient care. The fact is that the increase in aging also brings with it an increase in chronic diseases. In fact, it is estimated that around 70% of elderly Spaniards suffer from at least one chronic disease. Although palliative care is mainly provided for diseases that can no longer be cured, such as advanced cancers, in the case of the elderly, this type of care is also important without the need to be an oncology patient, since certain types of chronic diseases can lead to the need
for this type of care.

In these cases, home hospitalization is of the utmost importance, since patients will have less difficulty being treated at home than if they have to travel to hospitals, making home hospitalization the engine of change in modern health care, a care focused on people and their health, as well as social needs.

This program is focused on deepening the understanding of all aspects which make home hospitalization unique and different from other medical specialties. It also demonstrates the weaknesses and future opportunities we have ahead of us, making the most of new educative technology available.
