Working in partnership to improve Palliative and End of Life Care.
The Policy Research Unit will undertake a core programme of policy research, informed by current and future needs of patients and their families/carers. The Policy Research Unit will also have a Rapid Response facility that delivers timely, high- quality evidence summaries tailored to policymakers' needs. The Policy Research Unit will deliver findings directly to users of the research (particularly policymakers) through a range of outputs including policy briefings, reports and academic papers, workshops, public events (in person and online) and symposia.
The Policy Research Unit is a collaboration - co-led by Hull York Medical School at the University of Hull and King's College London, working with the International Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University, and partners from other universities.
Professor Fliss Murtagh, with Professor Katherine Sleeman from King's College London will co-lead the Policy Research Unit in Palliative and End of Life Care.
This is an excellent opportunity to deliver robust policy-related evidence to inform policy and improve care for those with advanced illness and their families.
