WELCOME
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,The aging of our societies is a sustained process and is looming already major impacts on the provision of healthcare services on the horizon. More and more complex hospital services will be needed by elderly growing patients. At the same time, also the health care workers are growing older in average.
HOSPAGE wants to offer a platform to discuss on an adequate organisation of hospital services in order to match the future needs. We warmly invite you to engage actively in the creation of sustainable healthcare systems and to participate in the conference.
You can profit from a unique composition of participants on HOSPAGE: beside high ranking politicians, academics and decision makers of the healthcare sector, approximately 200 hospital workers with management experience from all 27 EU Member States will participate. As HOSPAGE is also the final event of their four weeks lasting exchange programme, those senior practitioners, who deeply discussed the topic in the hosting hospitals all over Europe during the exchange period, will deliver their solutions on the conference and will discuss them with you!
We warmly invite you to be part of this important conference and are looking forward to welcome you in the andel’s hotel in Berlin!
Yours sincerely
Georg Baum
President of European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (HOPE)

Dear Colleagues,
HOPE is particularly grateful to the German Hospital Federation for taking the responsibility of organising in Berlin the HOPE Agora 2012, the annual event of the European Hospital and Healthcare Federation.
The topic picked up for 2012 is of particular relevance. Ageing is a reality, a major component of the environment that hospitals and healthcare services have to cope with.
It also comes at an appropriate time at European Union level. Within the scope of the European Innovation partnership on Active and healthy Ageing, Europe has clearly marked its understanding of the new challenges ahead. The financial and economic crisis has added to this need of facing reality.
HOSPAGE has the specifics of bringing together two topics that are usually disconnected and of building around good practices identified in EU Member States rather than on problems. All professionals can benefit from the participation to this concrete exchange of views.
Best regards
Pascal Garel
Chief Executive
European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (HOPE)
