The new scenarios in home hospitalization push us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in the specialty into their daily practice"

Demographic change calls for an extreme rethinking of healthcare 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 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 and 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. 

With this postgraduate diploma, students will learn about the management of infections at home, palliative care in oncology patients, pain treatment and the most innovative therapeutic and diagnostic techniques on the market, offering physicians the most updated offer to provide the best service to their patients.
