Specialist conference: Knowledge, politics, and practice in dialogue

A central feature of PFLEGE PLUS is the accompanying specialist conference, which is organized in close cooperation with partners from nursing associations, science, and politics. Here, key topics are explored in depth and put up for discussion, e.g.:

• Recruitment of skilled workers and training initiatives
• Digitalization and documentation in everyday nursing care
• Nursing care policy at state and federal level
• Quality management and nursing care ethics
• Nursing care and dementia – new approaches to care
• Nursing care in the community and cross-sector care

Numerous panels, keynote speeches, and best practice formats bring together experience and innovation with the aim of developing viable solutions for one of the most important social challenges of our time.

Wide range of topics: From technology to attitude

PFLEGE PLUS deliberately covers a wide range of topics—not only technical, but also cultural and ethical. Because care is much more than just providing assistance: it is about participation, dignity, quality of life, and social responsibility. This also includes key areas such as:

• Working conditions and collective bargaining issues
• Inclusion and diversity in care
• Living arrangements of the future
• Digitally supported communication with relatives
• Interface management between care, medicine, and social services

PFLEGE PLUS – Platform for Change

PFLEGE PLUS impressively demonstrates how care can be actively and innovatively shaped in an aging society. It brings together stakeholders who not only want to manage care, but also develop it further—with ideas, technology, and attitude. The trade fair offers not only products, but also inspiration, networks, and solutions. For everyone involved in professional care, it is a place to meet, exchange knowledge, and implement concrete ideas.
