Making it work for everyone - using evidenceMarie Curie
Dr Phil McCarvill, Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Marie Curie Cancer Care spoke on 11 September 2014 on ‘Making it work for everyone - using evidence' at the NCPC.
Here in his presentation, Dr McCarvill makes a case for the role of data and evidence in end of life care. Using evidence that is currently available such as the Marie Curie Atlas; independent evaluations (e.g. Nuffield Trust); user, patient and carer feedback and social media, we are continuing to increase our understanding of experiences of end of life care.
Marie Curie is using this evidence and responding to feedback when we work with commissioners around the country to redesign end services.
