As a service provider in the end-of-life care sector, we would like to invite you to participate in a research project being undertaken by the University of Western Sydney, Calvary Centre for Palliative Care Research and Cancer Council of NSW.
The project is about: Understanding more about how formal and informal carers work together when care is being provided in the dying persons home. How friends and family support each other when someone with a terminal illness is being cared for at home. What people do to support the carer at home and bringing to life the everyday tasks of caring The effect of the experience of helping one another
The results of this study will be applied to creating better support for people who wish to die at home. It is entirely up to you whether or not you participate in this research.
