"My most valuable task is to fulfil the wish of the patient"
About me
I am not a classical home nursing service, but rather a private Palliative Care Person.
In each case I deal exclusively with one individual and their family giving them whatever medical treatment or nursing care that is needed. I work in close collaboration with the GP/Physician or the Ward Attending. I support the family so that this great wish - perhaps the greatest in life - can be fulfilled. This valuable time can therefore be spent together at home and, for the family members, very important in the bereavement process.
Charlotte Nielsen:
"I have dedicated this work to my husband, because I know how important it is to be able to fulfil the wishes of the person concerned.
I miss you, but I am happy and thankful for the precious time that we were able to spend together at home.”
I am there for you
Charlotte Sagild Nielsen
I was born in 1959 and raised in Denmark. Having graduated as a qualified nurse and lived for 2 years in London and one year in the U.S., I arrived in Germany in 1985.
In the years 1986 to 2001 I gained experience as a nurse in Urology, Transplantation, Intensive Care, Dialysis, and Geriatric Care.
In 2009 my husband had an incurable disease. At the point where he was beyond treatment his most important and last wish was to be allowed die at home. Supported by the local Hospice group and in coordination with our GP´s, I was able to fulfil his greatest wish. Today I am very grateful for this, as although it was difficult, it was a very valuable and very nice time we had together at home.
Since my training in Denmark, which also included End-Of-Life-Care, I have repeatedly dealt with this issue and participated in courses in Palliative Care as well as Pain Management and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy courses in St Christopher’s Hospice in London.
In my career as a Nurse, I have often been given the task to accompany dying patients and to support their families which I have continued ever since also outside my work environment. I see this as a valuable way to help people die with dignity at home.
