Department of Palliative Care,
University of Bristol (UK)
The University of Bristol was founded in 1876 and it has become one of the most popular and successful universities in the UK. It currently has more than 14,000 full time students. The Department of Palliative Medicine was established in 1993 under the leadership of Professor Geoffrey Hanks. The goals of the program are to develop education and research in palliative medicine and provide clinical care at the University Teaching Hospital with a Palliative medicine curriculum closely linked with communication skills and ethical issues. Palliative Medicine is represented, or taught, in every year of the five year course in Bristol . Teaching is directed by Dr. Karen Forbes, who was recently elected as the Clinical Tutor of the Year during 2001, 2002 and 2003 by the university medical students. The University also provides a Master of Science degree in palliative medicine for qualified doctors who have experience of working in palliative care and who wish to pursue a higher degree involving a research dissertation. In addition, several of the modules are open to students of other disciplines who wish to participate and learn about certain specific topics.
