Project Details
Description
Professor David Abbott from Bristol University will investigate the views of men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy about how, when and with whom conversations about end-of-life care should take place. It has been shown that such discussions can improve quality of life in people with life-limiting conditions. The results will inform clinicians, family members and men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy about how to discuss these important but delicate issues.
