New podcast: how did NZ hospices ‘pivot’ during Covid-19?
March 15 2022
Host Dr Jackie Robinson interviews Dr Rosemary Frey about her study on how Covid-19 made community palliative care services adapt rapidly and creatively to find new ways of working revising and establishing new policies. The study is comparing the Covid-19 response by hospice in the Community Palliative Care Services in New Zealand and Scotland.
The team on the project: Dr Rosemary Frey, Dr Aileen Collier, Ms Jenny Thurston, Mercy Hospice Auckland and Scottish Researcher (Professor Bridget Johnston, University of Glasgow) are conducting a study adapted from a survey done by Costantini et al (2020):
