$1.1m for palliative care research in Vic
Victorian research into improving health issues associated with end-of-life and palliative care practices will be supported by seven new National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grants.
Under the Melbourne grants, two new research projects led by Professor Peter Hudson of St Vincent’s Hospital are focused on caregivers and family members who are supporting a patient receiving palliative care.
Five other awards have been made to Monash University, Melbourne University and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
