What to expect from Academic Data Access
Our data in action
Palliative and end of life care
Researchers at the University of Hull's NIHR Policy Research Unit in Palliative and End of Life Care used ten years of District Nursing data to describe how community nursing services contribute to palliative and end of life care.
About the data
The data comes from NHS organisations that chose to take part in each project. These are real-world operational datasets, not controlled research datasets.
The organisations taking part, the questions asked and the definitions used can change from year to year, so not every metric is available for every year.
