Service & Policy Evaluation

We undertake a range of service evaluation activities and projects for health services, charitable bodies and other organisations.  We use a number of formative and summative methodologies including participatory approaches, case studies and surveys.

Current projects include:

Independent Evaluation of the Marie Curie ‘Delivering Choice Programme’
Advance Care Planning in Care Homes for Older People
The Evaluation of the Major Grants Programme - Carers of those who are terminally ill
Evaluation of Preferred Place of Care (PPC): Towards quality improvement
Exploring Wishes and Preferences for End of Life Care: An Analysis of Responses to Key Questions in the Preferred Place of Care (PPC) Tool
Pilot Study for an Evaluation Research Programme of ‘Preferred Place of Care’ (PPC)

Two PhD students are also undertaking work in this area:
