We’re excited to announce the launch of new research priorities for palliative and end of life care! These have been created in a project with the JLA and other partner organisations, including co-funders the ESRC and @mndassoc.bsky.social, and guided by people affected by a life limiting illness.
The top 10 new priorities for palliative and end of life care research are:

How do people with dementia experience end of life? How can palliative and end of life care better meet their needs and those of their carers, friends and families?
How can NHS, social services and charities work more collaboratively to provide joined-up care that better meets the needs of people with a serious life-limiting illness and their carers, friends and families?
What kinds of palliative and end of life care and support need to be in place to enable people to die well at home? What skills do staff need? What helps or hinders the delivery of care at home?
What are the best ways to provide personalised palliative and end of life care that meets all the physical, mental, practical, social and spiritual needs of a person with a serious life-limiting illness?
How can palliative and end of life care better meet the complex needs of people with multiple health conditions?
How can communication and care co-ordination be improved across the teams of health and social care professionals caring for people with any serious life-limiting illness?
What skills, training and information do carers, friends and family members need to be able to care for someone who is dying at home (e.g. giving medicines safely by injection, managing incontinence, moving people)? What is the impact (pros and cons) of upskilling the people giving care?
How can the quality of palliative and end of life care in hospital be improved? What helps or hinders improvement?
What are the best ways to provide palliative and end of life care, support and advice at all hours (24/7 or out of hours)?
How can palliative and end of life care better meet the needs of people who live alone, or are socially isolated?

Challenges faced by paramedics in England when managing EoLC include ‘unavailability of patient’s own just in case medicines’. WAST carrying JIC meds on all ambulances is ‘one solution to the medicines challenges faced by paramedics in our survey’ bmcpalliatcare.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
