I am leading this 3-year research study (2024-2027).

DAPPLE stands for: Developing effective service models for Adult Palliative and end of life care for People with a LEarning disability.

We want to find the best ways to make sure that people with a learning disability get the right care and support at the end of their lives.

We are working together with The Open University, LOROS Hospice and the University of Leicester. We are involving very many other organisations, professionals, families and people with learning disabilities.

This project is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) under its Health and Social Care Delivery (HSDR) Programme (Grant Reference Number NIHR159160).
