farewell certe Commissioned by the Service Pharmacy I made this visual. in a meeting the service pharmacy of the day after tomorrow was discussed, what were the wishes, the visions? I made this visual when I said goodbye to Certe after 15 years. The visual tells my way through Certe: the Asthma/COPD service, Lifelines and the blood draw. I had cards printed and a personal message for colleagues on the back.

HappyCare In recent years, Sjoukje Bouma has done PhD research at the Orthopedics department of the UMCG. She conducted research into the experiences of healthcare professionals with the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. The first part examined which factors prevent healthcare professionals from doing so. The second part examined which strategies can be used to improve the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. To better explain her research to people, I drew this picture for her.

CCQ in pictures As head of the Asthma/COPD service I have worked with Professor Thys van der Molen for many years. He is the founder of the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ). This is a questionnaire about the health status of people with COPD. This questionnaire is used by all general practitioners in the Netherlands. The list is now available in 60 languages. I have now made the CCQ visual: CCQ in the picture. In a working group we are validating the scientific questionnaire. We hope to release the entire questionnaire in early 2022. Until then I'm only allowed to show 2 out of 10 questions.

40 years of service I made this logo on behalf of Elann, an organization that organizes refresher courses for general practitioners. The theme of the congress is “In the middle of our lives”. Topics about the doctor himself are discussed: career development, good self-care and sustainability. In addition, topics about middle-aged people: burnout, incontinence, coping with grief.

HappyCare Dementia care in Dutch hospital settings: perspectives on person-centered nursing care and shared decision-making Hospital admissions for people with dementia often lead to unintended negative consequences, such as complications and longer hospital stays, which are burdensome for both patients and their loved ones. Nurses play a crucial role in care, but often experience it as complex. This dissertation by Annette Plantinga focuses on how nursing care for dementia patients in Dutch hospitals can be improved, with an emphasis on Person-centered care and Shared Decision Making, from the perspective of both nurses and loved ones. An important part of the study was the evaluation of a measurement instrument that assesses the degree of person-centred care, which allows comparison between departments and hospitals. In addition, the perspective of nurses was investigated. Although nurses have positive attitudes, many feel insufficiently equipped to deal with problem behaviour effectively and often lack specific knowledge about dementia care. Relatives experience stress due to poor communication with nurses and do not always feel treated as care partners. They worry about the safety of their relative with dementia. Positive experiences arise when nurses recognize the patient's dementia and involve relatives in care decisions. Negative experiences occur when care is focused exclusively on the disease for which the patient was admitted. The findings highlight the need for better education for nurses, with attention to dementia care and person-centred care. Improved communication and early recognition of dementia are essential. Further research could focus on alternatives to hospital treatments to reduce the negative consequences of admissions for dementia patients.

forward together - youth format When employees become ill and can no longer perform their work, this has a great impact. Sick employees face an uncertain period in which they must learn to deal with the new situation. Many sick employees have difficulty taking control of their own reintegration process. The 'ERIRE' project has developed a methodology that provides sick employees with tools to take control of the reintegration process themselves and thus increase their chances of faster reintegration. For the ERIRE project I made drawings and animations about the Self-direction conversation and the Self-perspective conversation More information about this project can be found here

The Marieje I feel very privileged to sail with the MARIEJE every now and then. It's an old (1898) Danish wooden sailing ship, type Galjas. On one of my trips I asked the crew members what the MARIEJE means to them. And I captured this visually.

HappyCare My mother is 93 and like most people her age, she is very vulnerable. Fortunately, her head is still doing well, but she has fallen regularly over the last few months. First because she was trying to pick something up, later because she was tired at the end of the day and recently because she could no longer stand on her legs. My mother has always been active and very independent. The rapid downward spiral was a difficult process for her and for us as children. After each fall, my mother had to give up more independence and our worries increased. She did not want to go to a nursing home and did everything she could to stay at home. And that also worked... Because there were 5 lovely women from Happy Zorg who put their heart and soul into ensuring that my mother could stay at home until it was really no longer possible. Natalie, the 'leader', had already taken care of my mother 5 years ago after her hip dislocated. Nathalie has always kept in touch with my mother. She didn't have to do that, but she did. And how valuable that was became apparent in recent months. It was wonderful how they helped my mother. Nothing was ever too much and everything was done with love. Partly thanks to the Happy ladies, my mother managed to stay at home. Unfortunately, my mother went to a nursing home a week and a half ago. It really didn't work anymore... Last week, as a thank you for all the care given to my mother, I received Natalie Drobe and her team gave a 'business drawing' workshop. I first taught them the basics of how to draw your story or message simply and functionally. They then made a drawing together about their team: What makes their team so special? They drew this drawing on paper, I made it digitally for them in one poster. A beautiful and valuable result. Happy Natalie, Happy Roos, Happy Indy, Happy Jet and Happy Eva…. You have been invaluable to my mother and us over the past period. I hope that politicians will look less at how you can organize healthcare as a business (where competition has proven to be cutthroat and lucrative companies make a lot of money) and focus (and invest) more on the people who do the real work!
