Funded Activity Summary

A study of the impact on patients and their families of the decision to stop kidney machine dialysis, and the transition to terminal care, either in an in-patient hospice-palliative care unit or domicillary service. The study will employ a combination of quantitative demographic and qualitative social science methodologies. There will be a special focus on the decision-making process, given that a dialysis cessation decision will usually lead to death within a few weeks.
