Overview
The Palliative Care course from Lancaster University has been carefully designed by the university’s world-leading experts in palliative care to offer you a deep understanding of different aspects of palliative care to those working in the hospice sector, palliative and end-of-life care and beyond.
Key facts:
Palliative care is rapidly evolving, sensitive and increasingly high-profile.
It is imperative that people working in the field can make decisions about care, service organisation and policy that are rooted in the best possible research-based evidence.
Whether you are looking to enter or progress in the hospice, palliative care, or end-of-life care sectors or have an ambition to become a researcher, your PhD will equip you with the highly transferrable skills and knowledge to guide policy and practice in palliative care or more broadly.
Throughout this you'll:
Learn from world-leading academics in palliative care from our International Observatory on End-of-Life Care
Study and research as part of a friendly and welcoming community
Learn and conduct research flexibly and remotely, wherever you are in the world
Join a supportive network of like-minded students globally
