Researching and improving palliative care: the journeys of people, their caregivers & the professionals caring for them @Cambridge_Uni @PCU_Cambridge #peolc

[Cambridge Palliative & End of Life Research Group @PELi_Cam]

landmark report from @mariecurieuk @MarieCurieEOLC.

[Marie Curie EOLC @MarieCurieEOLC]

📢☝️ We've just published our Better End of Life Report 2024
Watch Professor @kesleeman King's College London outline key findings⬇️
