Professor Nancy Preston

Professor of Supportive and Palliative Care

Research Overview

Nancy Preston is a Professor of Supportive and Palliative Care. She is the Co-Director of the International Observatory on End-of-Life Care at Lancaster University and Associate Dean for Research in the Faculty of Health and Mediicne.

My research focusses on palliative care and how best to integrate it into general healthcare systems including oncology and respiratory units, ICU, the community, hospices and care homes. I have been involved in seven European studies which focus upon service delivery, enhancing shared decision making and symptom management.

I am particularly interested in how peole make decisions at the end of life including advance care planning and assisted dying.

I am part of the NIHR/Department of Health Policy Research Unit for Palliative Care.

I use novel ways to disseminate research into practice including open access resources such as MOOCs.
