flag Study shows Ireland leads in palliative care understanding, but community support awareness lacks.

flag A study by Queen's University Belfast for the All-Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care found that understanding of palliative care in Ireland is ahead of other countries, with the Republic of Ireland scoring 75.8% and Northern Ireland 67.5%. flag The island's overall score of 68.1% is higher than the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Australia. flag However, there are still gaps in local communities' knowledge about available services, particularly in "support in my community," which scored 60.4%. flag The study emphasizes the need to improve awareness and access to palliative care services. flag This research coincides with Palliative Care Week, which runs from September 7-13.
