The Palliative and Supportive Care work stream is committed to develop and undertake well designed research which will directly improve the care and experience of patients, and their carers, in the advanced stages of their illness.
This workstream will further the development of the palliative and supportive care research portfolio in Wales by focusing on:
Patient/carer rather than disease focused outcomes
Multidisciplinary team research across all care settings
Establishing a repository of existing research evidence
Engaging with clinical teams and policy makers to place findings straight to practice
Dissemination by traditional routes and by using social media
Ongoing development of high quality, sustainable and appropriately evaluated public and patient engagement
Our ambition is to remain at the forefront of research in palliative care.
The Marie Curie Palliative Care Research Centre has today published the results of the first ever in-depth evaluation of an established weekend and bank holiday Specialist Palliative Care Clinical Nurse Specialist Service in the UK. Read the Executive Summary or download the Full Report.
