Partners and collaborators

At the Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre, our commitment to advancing palliative care extends beyond our walls.

We believe in the power of collaboration to drive innovative research, break disciplinary boundaries, and maximize the impact of our work.

By working with partners and collaborators, we aim to develop, deliver, implement, and disseminate palliative care research that makes a tangible difference in the lives of people with life-limiting illness and their families.

We collaborate with healthcare providers, community organisations, research institutions and policy makers to address pressing issues in palliative care.

We involve patients and the public with first-hand experience of advanced life-limiting illness in all our projects. We also include people with experience of advanced illness as partners in our strategy development, expert advisory group, and in our communications work. We continually work to innovate and strengthen this involvement, as it does so much to shape and improve our work and its impact.
