Please could you share this opportunity to take part in research that aims to make UK bereavement support more equitable? Thank you 🙏

It's important that their experiences are included in our research so that bereavement services are developed to meet their needs too.

There is an NHS Wales policy for this now in response to the pandemic and based on pilot study results. Uptake is variable but certainly is happening in some areas. Study results can be found here journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/h…

Experience of end of life care during #COVIDー19: as part of a national/international study to improve care, we are inviting responses from those #bereaved and #healthcareworkers who have provided end-of-life care. Info - ow.ly/QDTE30qLF6u. Please share

Future work regarding the intervention will focus on understanding the context of UK areas where this has been adopted, ascertaining wider public views and exploring health-care professional views on burden and risk in the NHS context. #NIHRresearch #PalliativeCare

CARiAD pilot trial results now available - overwhelmingly positive feedback from carers, but difficulties retaining control group participants make success of a future trial uncertain. #pallimed #eolc #nihrresearch journalslibrary.nihr.ac.uk/h…

Great to see this being discussed, and lots to consider. Our pilot study informed NHS Wales policy & looked at many of the issues outlined here. Careful consideration on patient/carer suitability was key in ensuring the overwhelmingly positive feedback we observed.

We've now updated the website with the complete policy and procedure for those organisations that need an accompanying policy @CARiAD_research go to subcut.helixcentre.com for more information
To respond to the needs of carers, patients and professionals during #COVID19 we've rapidly sped up a project of ours. As our latest toolkit, we have a training resource for carers to learn how to administer subcut injections in the home. View it here: subcut.helixcentre.com

To help support people in the last days of life and their carers during #COVID19 the CARiAD package for carer administration of subcut medications for breakthrough symptoms is being rapidly rolled out across Wales, supported by #NHSWales approved policy. #EoLcare #PalliativeCare

Fantastic to see our adapted carer materials being made available in England and implemented so thoughtfully by the Helix team. For anyone interested in the whole CARiAD package including policy and healthcare professional resources please get in touch
