University of Cambridge researchers are conducting a short survey investigating what proportion of community nurses’ daily work involves providing care for people in their last year of life.
Led by Dr Ben Bowers, Wellcome Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, and Primary Care Unit, and Joodi Mourhli, Research Assistant, both based at the Primary Care Unit, University of Cambridge, the study also seeks to find out if end-of-life care visits and contacts are being routinely deferred or cancelled due to capacity issues.
The study seeks to invite interested UK-based community nursing colleagues to take part. This research is a partnership between the International Community Nursing Observatory of the Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing (QICN) and University of Cambridge.
Taking part in the study involves completing the 10-minute anonymous survey. Your responses will help influence policy makers and inform future research priorities.
