Els Jonker to give keynote speech at In For Care meeting
Keynote speaker Els Jonker is a youth health care physician and public health physician. She has worked as a youth health care physician in Deventer for more than thirty years.
Jonker grew up with a seriously ill parent. Nevertheless, it took until the beginning of 2000 before she realized that young caregivers are also unknown and invisible in her own field of study.
Since then she has been devoting herself on various occasions to placing Young Informal Care on the agenda, on behalf of the Dutch Association of Youth Health Care Physicians (AJN).

She will provide the facts and figures on Young Informal Carers in Europe and will lead a discussion about this topic.
