About Us
Our palliative care research over the years has focused largely on life limiting illnesses and the management of related symptoms such as breathlessness. This research is currently led by our senior palliative care nursing team who conduct both NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) portfolio adopted studies and their own home grown research. Our research benefits from close relations with both Hull York Medical School (HYMS) and Saint Catherine's Hospice.
