People with multiple long-term health conditions (multimorbidity) tend not to access end of life care in the same way that people with single conditions like cancer do. This is despite us knowing that people with multiple long-term health conditions spend more time in hospital, have a lower quality of life and often die earlier than people with only one condition. There can be lots of uncertainty \u2013 particularly around how conditions are managed and care is coordinated.<\/p>\n
We want to better understand what it is like to live with multiple health conditions at the end of life and how people use healthcare services. This will allow us to identify areas within our pre-existing health services that we can improve upon or help generate new ideas to deliver care better at this important part of people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we have designed EMBED \u2013 Experiences of MultimorBidity at the EnD of life. It is made up of 3 main parts described in our Projects <\/a>section. Key to this work is our public involvement with our Public Advisory Group, you can meet them in our Public Advisory Group<\/a> section. This research is being undertaken as part of the Multimorbidity Doctoral Training Programme for Health Professionals<\/a> by Dr Sarah Bowers, supported by her 5 supervisors who you are introduced in our Research Team<\/a> section. This research is supported by the Wellcome Trust (223499\/Z\/21\/Z).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u200bExperiences of MultimorBidity at EnD of Life People with multiple long-term health conditions (multimorbidity) tend not to access end of life care in the same way that people with single conditions like cancer do.
