Research projects

The team at Eden Valley Hospice and Jigsaw Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice are committed to working towards potential improvements in care and better collaborative working for the benefit of patients.

We have done this through direct involvement in research projects and through commissioning our own research to support improvement.

Our Jigsaw Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice team have supported:

  • The national Children’s Palliative care Outcome Scale Study – C-POS which has been led by Kings College London. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/c-pos It aims to develop and validate a person-centred outcome measure for children and young people and their families affected by life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. The study is also engaging children within the research process, rather than relying on proxy data. Currently, children and young people are often neglected in the research process and this study hopes to change this

Our leadership team have supported:

  • A University of Northumbria-led PhD study into the impact of collaborative leadership looking at the role of governance in facilitating a place-based approach to health and social care.
  • Worked with the University of Lancaster to support MBA student Aniket Deshpande to review our carbon footprint and sustainability challenges. It was supported by the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation’s ECO-I NW Programme funded through the European Regional Development Fund and the Northern Powerhouse.
