Keynote Speaker

Meta van der Woude

MetaMorphosis, from doctor to file

When, as a healthcare provider, you become a patient yourself, you suddenly look at healthcare from a different angle.
You realise how small details can make a big difference.
You realise how important it is to be seen as a human being rather than as the sick person.
You become aware of things you might overlook as a healthcare provider.

How can we use our experience and knowledge to deliver person-centred care.
The keynote will stimulate you to think about how you can really make a difference as a healthcare provider. This will benefit not only the patient, but also you yourself.

About Meta van der Woude

About Meta van der Woude

Meta van der Woude has worked for many years as an anaesthesiologist-intensivist and as a manager. She therefore understands the challenges facing doctors and nurses.

Her hospital career ended after going through a severe coronary infection that required her to be admitted to her own intensive care unit with permanent damage afterwards.

As a result, she has learned about the patient's perspective in addition to that of the medical specialist. Her mission is to use these experiences to raise awareness of vulnerability and patients' experiences.

Doctor and patient at heart
