DECIDE (Diverse experiences of End-of-Life Care for Dementia) establishing consensus and capacity for future research through collaboration and co-production.

Background: Dementia is a leading cause of death globally. However, end-of-life care is often poor or non-existent. People with dementia from ethnic minorities or socioeconomically deprived communities are even less likely to receive good palliative care.

Advance care planning for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on home non-invasive ventilation: A qualitative study exploring barriers, facilitators and patients' and healthcare professionals' recommendations.

Background: Although home non-invasive ventilation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and persisting hypercapnia prolongs time to hospital readmission and prognosis, they retain a poor long-term prognosis. Requiring non-invasive ventilation in this population should trigger advance care planning, yet only 50% of patients are engaged in such discussions.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators to advance care planning for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on home non-invasive ventilation and generate recommendations for improving practice.

Qualified and motivated, but limited by specialty-specific barriers: a national survey of UK Palliative Medicine consultants research experience.

Objectives: Providing high-quality safe palliative care requires high-quality clinically driven research. Little is known about how to optimise clinical research capacity in this field.To understand interest and capacity to conduct clinical research in palliative medicine and identify key facilitators and barriers, by surveying palliative medicine consultants and academic trainees.

Unrepresented, unheard and discriminated against: A qualitative exploration of relatives' and professionals' views of palliative care experiences of people of African and Caribbean descent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: People of African and Caribbean descent experienced disproportionately high mortality from COVID-19 and have poor access to palliative care.

Aim: To explore palliative care experiences of people of African and Caribbean descent during and immediately prior to the pandemic.

Design: Qualitative interview study with thematic analysis.

'That's as hard a decision as you will ever have to make': the experiences of people who discussed Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on behalf of a relative during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: COVID-19 brought additional challenges to Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) decision-making, which was already a contentious issue. In the UK, reports of poor DNACPR decision-making and communication emerged in 2020, including from the regulator, the Care Quality Commission. This paper explores the experiences of people who discussed DNACPR with a healthcare professional on behalf of a relative during the coronavirus pandemic, with the aim of identifying areas of good practice and what needs to be improved.
