Switzerland can play a leading role in quantum technology through strategic investment

Coordinated action and strategic impulses are required for this purpose at the interface between science, economics and politics. Swiss Quantum Commission experts from the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) penned the strategy in the context of the Swiss Quantum Initiative on behalf of the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.

    Advance care planning: New thematic page for healthcare professionals

    Advance care planning (ACP) provides a framework for discussing future healthcare decisions, documenting patients’ preferences and ensuring that these are respected when needed. Together with the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) is committed to further strengthening ACP in Switzerland. This is not only the responsibility of specialised professionals: all healthcare professionals can initiate conversations about future health situations and support patients through an ACP process. To facilitate this, SAMS has published a new thematic page for healthcare professionals.
