Palliative and end-of-life care research funding: an analysis of current UK health research spending.
Objectives: Despite increasing demand for palliative and end-of-life care, the funding for research in this area has historically been low. Previous UK analyses in 2016 found that less than 0.3% of the funding for cancer research was directed towards palliative care research; current expenditure on palliative and end-of-life care research is unknown. We therefore sought to determine current UK expenditure on palliative and end-of-life care research.
Methods: Secondary analysis of publicly available research funding data-UK Health Research Analysis 2022, from the UK Clinical Research Classification System Health Research Classification System. This dataset details UK health research funding from all public sectors (including the governments of the four nations of the UK), charities, societies and professional bodies for the year 2022.
Results: Out of 18 023 research funding awards in total in 2022, we identified 136 relating to palliative and end-of-life care research. The total funding for palliative and end-of-life care research was £10.9 million, representing just 0.26% of the total £4.2 billion awarded.
Conclusions: Palliative and end-of-life care research continues to be one of the lowest-funded areas of healthcare research in the UK. More investment into palliative and end-of-life care research is urgently needed to advance evidence to meet the rising demand for palliative care.
期刊介绍：
Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance.
We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication.
In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
