Ward-based ‘Research Hub’ preparing for launch in Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool

We are delighted to be close to launching a ward-based ‘Research Hub’ in Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool, which will enable hospice-based researchers to have closer connection with patients, caregivers and staff. We that the Research-Hub will help to raise awareness of the importance of palliative care research, and will support closer working practices between research and clinical staff.

The Research Hub pilot will run for a few months until early 2023, following which we will review the project to determine how this model can potentially support research practice and innovation in our hospice and other palliative care settings. Please stay tuned, over the next few months, for further information about the ‘Research-Hub’ of Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool.

‘Designer-in-Residence’ Programme launched at Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool

Designing the ‘Hospice of The Future‘

Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool are delighted to welcome two design researchers from the University of Liverpool to conduct a project to design the future of hospice care.

Andrew Tibbles (right) is a Ph.D. researcher in Design for End of life and Dr Farnaz Nickpour (left) is an Associate Professor in Design & Innovation. 

Andrew and Farnaz will be ‘Designers in Residence’ in Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool for a year, where they will study all areas of the hospice. The aim of the Designer-in-Residence programme is to co-define and co-imagine current and future hospice care as an ecosystem of people, objects, environments, technologies, practices and narratives of care. The programme has three distinct objectives and deliverables respectively:

a) co-creating a systems map of the current hospice care;

b) co-defining key values, requirements and challenges in the current system; and

c) co-imagining new value propositions in future hospice care systems.
