Dr Guy Peryer leads Compassionate Communties event

Compassionate Communities event hosted by UEAHSCP

On 27 March, Dr Guy Peryer, lead of UEAHSCP's Palliative Care research group, hosted a community-focused event aimed at strengthening communities' palliative care provision.

85 attendees got together to hear diverse and often moving talks from several perspectives, including local charities, doulas, community health care, funeral homes all working to support people through each stage of their journey. We explored stalls from vital and creative people within local organisations, including partner representatives, practitioners, the third sector and more.

The partnerships and networks strengthened at this event will be used to develop a treasure map of local and community assets around palliative and end-of-life care to help those in need.

This event was funded by the Clinical Research Network (CRN) and supported by UEAHSCP.
