Biography

My name is Carolien Burghout, and I work as a Nurse Specialist in Hematology at Jeroen Bosch Hospital in 's-Hertogenbosch. Since January 2022, I have also been affiliated with Tilburg University as a science practitioner. Palliative care is part of my daily work as a Nurse Specialist in Hematology. When patients can no longer improve, it is crucial that they can fill their last years of life as they wish. As a science practitioner, I am conducting research on 'Care in the Last Years of Life,' focusing on the importance of systematically documenting proactive care discussions for both patients and their relatives, as well as healthcare providers. Since 2008, I have worked at Jeroen Bosch Hospital, dealing with blood and lymph node cancers. In this capacity, I inform, advise, treat, and support patients and their relatives through various stages of illness. I carry out my work with great passion and am still very much engaged in this wonderful profession. I also participate in the national tumor working group of my professional association V&VN to further develop hematological care. At JBZ, I am active in various working groups to improve the quality of care. By practicing both roles, I bridge the gap between practice and science.
