During the 14th-16th
September 2009, the Norwegian city of
Trondheim hosted an international
workshop organised by PRISMA research
project. PRISMA is a project funded by
the European Commission with the aim of
coordinating high-quality international
research into end-of-life care (EOLC).
The aim of this workshop was to set the
agenda for future clinical research
priorities in EOLC in Europe. 30
participants from 26 European countries
attended. Participants were divided in
two groups, one group dealing with
clinical research priorities and the
second group concentrating on barriers
to EOLC research and looking for
possible solutions to these barriers.
The workshop was chaired by Professor
Stein Kaasa from Norway and by Professor
Irene Higginson from the UK. The report
from the meeting will be published in
the European Journal of Cancer. |
