The HNE health palliative care data project

The Hunter New England (HNE) Palliative Care Program recently engaged the Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong to undertake a relatively small scale project to explore the similarities and differences between palliative care services that operate within the region. In part, the project was commissioned out of an acknowledgement of the diverse range of current practices and the need to better understand the impact of those from a planning and service delivery perspective.
