Future Transitions in Palliative Care – Online Discussions from the Opening Event
Held at the Lighthouse, this first seminar in the series focused on understanding the current research, policy and practice landscape of palliative care. This programme argues that there is a need to focus on positive and preferable destinations of care where the ethos and values of services provide a seamless transition for people with life limiting conditions, regardless of life stage.
Discussions on the day took into account the range of perspectives, from family and volunteers to academics and front-line practitioners. If you missed the day, or just want to revisit some of the most prominent discussions, the full online discussions are available here.
The Scottish Universities Insight Institute supports programmes of knowledge exchange which address and provide insight on substantial issues that face Scotland and the wider world.
Our programmes break down disciplinary and organisational barriers in bringing together academics from different backgrounds, policymakers and practitioners.
We mobilise existing knowledge in fresh ways through sustained and collaborative focus on a shared issue and aim to support decision makers in all sectors of society in being better informed.
Our partner universities are: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Heriot Watt, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde, and Associate Member Glasgow School of Art.
