Responses have highlighted several benefits of using technology to support communication in these areas, whilst providing greater understanding of the barriers that exist.ConclusionOur work has shown that there is an increasing use of technology to support communication in palliative care. It is essential that organisations acknowledge and adapt to this change in order for healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care by improving access and quality of palliative care services.ImpactThis work highlights areas of improvement needed to allow healthcare professionals to use technology to support communication. If used well, this can improve the scope of palliative care delivery in the future.References Bone AE, Gomes B, Etkind SN, et al.

There is a growing recognition among policymakers in Northern Ireland that we need to do a lot more on the loneliness front, with NI standing today as the only place in the UK without a dedicated loneliness strategy. However, the evidence base around the impact and solutions to loneliness among terminally ill people and their loved ones is severely underdeveloped.AimsThrough the lens of health and social care professionals in Northern Ireland (NI), this research aims to explore the perceived prevalence, impact, and possible solutions to loneliness among people who are terminally ill and their carers.MethodExplanatory sequential mixed methods comprising an online survey (n = 68;response rate 30%) and three online focus groups (n = 15) with Marie Curie health and social care professionals. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Patients and informal carers were involved in shaping the results.ResultsWe will report preliminary findings, with a focus on the value of the Marie Curie policy-themed small research grants for supporting research to influence policy.ConclusionThis study will provide an evidence base on the impact, and tools for alleviating, loneliness among people with terminal illnesses and their carers.ImpactThis research evidence will be critical for influencing political change in NI and ensuring that, when and if a future loneliness strategy is developed, people impacted by terminal illness are given due regard and attention.
