Eleven structured interviews were conducted (October 2022 to January 2023) via telephone or videoconference (ZOO…
Effects of dignity therapy on dignity and spiritual well-being in people with advanced cancer

The authors explore how close Sláintecare is to the UHC ideal. They also review the phased strategy of implementation…
Cutting through the intersections to care for caregivers
As the number of people living longer with life-limiting conditions grows, so too does the number of caregivers and the complexity of the caring role. To understand more about the role and how caregivers can be supported, local and national registers have been created that collect data on caregivers.
