Funded Activity Summary

Very little is know about health service needs and use by people with disabilities at the end of life. The study will help to address this gap. The three groups chosen are adults with an intellectual disability, multiple sclerosis, and/or schizophrenia. The study aims to explore the needs of these people and their carers in their last year of life including the need for palliative care and whether access to palliative care relieves some of the burden on hospital and emergency departments
