research and information

The field of paediatric palliative care research is in its infancy compared to the substantial evidence base surrounding adult palliative care. 

This means that the evidence to underpin practice is continually evolving, making this field of healthcare both challenging and dynamic.  The importance of research in hospices has been highlighted by the Help the Hospices Commission. The organisation has established links with universities throughout Wales and will be working on research projects in partnership with our academic colleagues.
