Current research projects
Phyllis Tuckwell is a research active organisation and we welcome researchers who wish to undertake research at the hospice.
Our aim is to improve palliative and end of life care for everyone, one important way of doing this is through research. We have developed partnerships which enables us to actively participate in research and initiatives to enhance our quality of care at the end of life. We actively recruit to national studies including a recent study looking at artificial hydration at the end of life. Our team of doctors, nurses and therapists regularly contribute to research, networks, and various initiatives to improve care for the dying. They share their knowledge at conferences and publish their work in peer reviewed journals.
We welcome researchers and other partnerships who wish to undertake research in collaboration with us.
As a research active hospice, we do approach patients and carers from time to time to take part in a relevant study. Participation is always voluntary and declining to take part will not affect your care at the hospice.
