Sutton and Merton residents asked for views on palliative care
9:40am Saturday 23rd January 2010
Patients and families are set to take part in a pioneering survey on the quality of end of life care in England.
The Qualycare study, undertaken by Kings College London, will involve 500 people from Merton and Sutton. Professor Irene Higginson, one of the scientists leading the project, said despite its difficult subject, the study would “increase our understanding of the services and improve care for others in the future".
He said the study would provide a better understanding of the help and support given by friends and family, and the way a persons death can affect friends and relatives.
