Round table «Vaccines in the 21st Century: Scientific and Social Aspects»

The session will be presented by Dr. Maria Àngels Calvo, Vice President and Academic of the Royal European Academy of Doctors.

The coordination is in charge of Dr. Joaquin Callabed, Pediatrician and Academic of the Royal European Academy of Doctors.

Speakers:

• Dr. Fernando Moraga. Pediatrician. Vice President of the Spanish Association of Vaccination, will speak about the updates in the childhood and youth vaccination calendar. New vaccines in the children’s calendar.

It will analyze the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice that affect those involved. Social movements anti-vaccines. Bioethical aspects to consider.

Description of the event

The immunization of humanity through vaccines has been one of the great achievements in Public Health of the last century.

The UN through UNICEF and WHO introduced vaccines as one of the eight health goals for disadvantaged children.

In our environment there have been infant deaths in unvaccinated children and diseases such as measles that seemed banished have appeared.

At the present time there is a dilemma: On the one hand there is the right of the child to the protection of his health through vaccines. On the other hand, the right of parents to have their children receive the care they deem most convenient for their health.

Another topical issue is adult vaccines, a scattered issue that deserves a tune-up of the vaccination calendar.

Thus, in some studies and surveys conducted, total or partial rejection of vaccines by some families has been detected. There are also associations and social movements that reject vaccination frontally.

The RAED, aware of the health and social importance of vaccines organizes this event with highly qualified professionals in the field of vaccines.

The event will have a space for dialogue and deliberation on the topics presented.

After the event, a guided tour of 10 min. where attendees can see the works exhibited in the Circle of Liceo.
Free entrance. The RAED opens its doors and would be very happy with your assistance and contributions.

Those interested in the round table session are kindly requested to confirm their attendance for reasons of limited capacity.

At the end of the event, an optional dinner will be held at the Círculo del Liceo at a price of 43€ (IVA included) that will be satisfied at the same time as dinner (reservation required in the following registration form).

The risks of aging here and now. A critical dialogue on bad treatments for older persons.

In recent years a new and serious social problem has emerged: the mistreatment of the elderly. However, it is necessary to warn that it is not so much a new phenomenon but the way out of its invisibility. Indeed, more and more cases of ill-treatment of long-term or elderly people emerge to the surface and this happens in a wide range of modalities, from neglect and abandonment to physical violence or economic plunder.

This is how, from the basic social services, the mental health and health devices or the state security forces and the prosecutor’s office, situations in which the elderly are subject to theft, fraud, beatings, threats or insults are detected. And all this happens without, so far, public administrations have taken action on the matter in a determined way through the implementation of legal, social or health measures.

Within this framework, an initiative has emerged from professionals linked to the Regional Council of Baix Llobregat. This initiative is the SEAP, Servei Especialitzat d’Atenció les les Persones Grans. This service is interdisciplinary in nature (social, legal and health) and has managed to build a discourse and a methodology that is facilitating the actions of the Prosecutor and the world of the judiciary.

This day will focus on the presentation of the SEAP, its methodology and a brief memory of the cases in which it has intervened. There will also be the participation of professionals from other disciplines to debate and critically reflect on this social scourge that is the mistreatment of the elderly.

IESE Alumni Learning Program · Ciclo Economía – Extraordinary Session

The world in a changing environment: from digital transformation to climate emergency or commercial warfare

Speaker: José Manuel González-Páramo, Executive Director, BBVA
Moderator:  Prof. Pedro Videla, Economy, IESE

The world is constantly evolving and changes are happening at a dizzying pace. We are in the fourth industrial revolution, the digital transformation, which is modifying the way in which we relate to people, business models, and ultimately the way in which value is created. Additionally, citizens face challenges such as environmental degradation and climate change, demographic transition, migration and inequalities.

Together with these structural changes, the commercial war, Brexit and the increasingly limited capacity of central banks to relaunch the economy raise doubts about the ability of European governments to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth over the time.

Given this situation it is necessary to make a calm reflection on the current situation and the different future scenarios that we will face in the coming months and years.
