• “I am delighted and proud to receive this award on behalf of King's to mark our 20 year research partnership. We have come so far, with so many brilliant African clinicians and scholars having graduated with an MSc or PhD (or both) in palliative care from the Cicely Saunders Institute at King's and having conducted many primary research studies across child, adult and older person's care.”

• “A major issue is that people often receive palliative care too late, frequently only at the very end of life. Our research aims to integrate palliative care earlier, when it can make the biggest difference.”
