We do like to be beside the seaside! ⛵

It's fab to have our campus so close to the coast, and while we don't recommend taking a dip at this time of year (🥶!) the sea views are striking no matter the season 🏖️

Always so special to get lots of our staff, students and alumni together. A lovely evening after #EAPC2025

Finally #EAPC2025 starts! The World Congress for #PALLIATIVECARE was planned in #HELSINKI for 2021 but was postponed due to the #pandemic. That it starts now here feels soothing … Looking forward to a great program, to meeting more than 2000 colleagues from all over world and to enjoying Helsinki!

It’s officially open. 👏👏

A warm welcome to all joining us at #EAPC2025! Over 2,000 delegates from around the world have come together to share, learn, and shape the future of palliative care. Let the conversations begin!
