A joint University of Bristol and Cardiff University study investigating experiences of end-of-life care and grief during the COVID-19 pandemic has been shortlisted by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for the prestigious ‘Celebrating Impact Prize 2023’.
The prize recognises the success of ESRC-funded researchers in achieving and enabling outstanding economic or societal impact from their research.
The COVID-19 bereavement study, led by Dr Lucy Selman from the Palliative and End of Life Care Research Group and Centre for Academic Primary Care at the University of Bristol, and Dr Emily Harrop, from the Marie Curie Research Centre, School of Medicine at Cardiff University, looked at the support bereaved people needed, whether they were able to access it, and how it could best be provided.
