Description
Researchers survey the state of end-of-life care research in the United Kingdom in a 2026 study. More people now live with advanced illness that will progress over time. Good research is needed to shape policy, services, and daily care for those patients.
An online survey drew 256 people who do this research in universities or care settings. Most worked full time, yet fewer than half held permanent contracts. Many praised a team-based culture and careful research habits. Almost all wanted the field to grow. The authors use the answers to show what the field needs most, from stable jobs to stronger funding and training paths.
