Building Critical Mass for Palliative Care Research | Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre
The world population is ageing and, with the growth of multi-morbidities, UK deaths are expected to increase by 40% by 2040. New models of care and treatments are urgently needed to improve quality of life for the significantly increased number of people living with life-limiting illnesses. Yet research activity remains extremely limited and neglected, with a severe lack of critical mass of academics and research centres to build the palliative care evidence base. www.hyms.ac.uk/wolfson

My absolute pleasure to talk about palliative care in the ICU at this year’s @ics-updates.bsky.social #SOA2025.
It makes me very happy to see how much traction the conversation is getting and the eagerness from both palliative and intensive care to learn and grow.
