Von Menschen und Tieren — Prix Média und Prix Média Newcomer 2022

Was lehrt uns der Blick nach Afrika für die nächste Pandemie? Und welche Rolle spielte die Neurochirurgie in der Psychiatrie? Diesen Fragen sind die beiden prämierten WissenschaftsjournalistInnenteams in ihren Bewerbungen für den Prix Média nachgegangen. Die multimediale Reportage und die Podcast-Folge überzeugten die Jury gleichermassen, so dass der Prix Média für Wissenschaftsjournalismus dieses Jahr zum zweiten Mal in Folge zwei Mal vergeben wurde. Den Prix Média Newcomer gewinnt ein Dokumentarfilm über Fischfossilien im Libanon.

    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.
