Our aim is to explore cancer and palliative care research with a specific focus on:

  • Patient’s perspectives/experiences
  • Support for patients and/or family carers  
  • Healthcare professionals in the deliverance of cancer and palliative care

Our research will impact on policy and practice in order to enhance person centred, quality care.  Through interdisciplinary research we aim to develop the capacity and capability in cancer/palliative care research, adopting participatory approaches where appropriate.
