Making a difference to care at the end of life

Our mission at the Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death, and Dying (RePaDD) is to make a difference to care at the end of life. We do this by examining the issues and challenges experienced by people living with a life-limiting illness, their carers, and the health and care professionals supporting them.
