Palliative care research is often underfunded, yet improvements in this area can significantly benefit patients and their loved ones.
At Clatterbridge, we are fortunate to have a dedicated and nationally-recognized team that has received numerous awards for their advancements in end-of-life care.
We have awarded a £50,000 research grant to Dr. Seamus Coyle to support his efforts to enhance the quality of palliative care services both locally and nationally for those who die from cancer.
Dr. Coyle’s research focuses on better understanding the stages of a patient’s declining health. With this grant, he aims to develop a simple urine test that can indicate when a patient is in their final days or weeks of life. This innovative technology has the potential to greatly impact not only cancer patients but anyone in need of end-of-life care. It will enable medical staff to make more informed decisions about how and where to treat patients, ensuring they receive the best possible care during their final moments.
Your support is crucial in making this vital research possible.
Together, we can improve the quality of life for patients and provide comfort to their families during challenging times.
