The development of a model of care for Haematology and Palliative Care [ 2004 - 2006 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Pam Mcgrath (Principal investigator) ,  Prof David Joske

Brief description The aim of the multi-site partnership is to build on foundational work initiated by NH and MRC to establish a model for end-of-life care in adult Haematology and palliative care. Preliminary work indicates this diagnostic category does NOT presently receive palliative care. Consumer research indicates that end-of-life care in haematology is associated with the distress of escalating technology, post-traumatic stress and spiritual pain. This study seeks to address this situation by building on the prior consumer researcher to develop a model of care through a multi-disciplinary consultation with haematology professionals and consumers.
