Palliative Care Evidence Review Service

We have introduced a Palliative Care Evidence Review Service (PaCERS), funded by Welsh Government as part of the Wales Cancer Research Centre to help you relate clinical practice more closely to evidence, and in doing so make a difference to patients.

Our aim is to conduct rapid reviews to answer research questions of current importance to health care professionals and other decision-makers in relation to palliative care, in the shortest possible time (7-10 weeks). All rapid reviews are conducted using modified systematic review methods with a highly refined research question.

This service supports clinicians and other decision makers with the integration of research evidence into service development and practice. The service is unique in responding to external clinical or organisational calls for evidence rather than itself defining the review agenda.

Rapid reviews can be viewed on the Wales Cancer Research Centre website.
