Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to promote mutual understanding between patients with incurable disease, carers and clinicians about prognosis, end of life issues and treatment goals in order to improve the quality of remaining life. Currently many patients do not understand their prognosis and make poor decisions about treatment, receiving costly, futile and invasive treatments just days before death. This project will empower patients and doctors to better discuss these issues.
