In the latest episode of On the Marie Curie Couch, Jason Davidson sits down with track sprint cyclist and Olympic gold medalist, Sophie Capewell. In this conversation, Sophie talks about the death of her dad, Nigel, experiencing grief before he had died, feeling guilty for enjoying herself, and how grief affected her during her Olympic gold medal win.
In partnership with many other organisations including the James Lind Alliance (JLA), Marie Curie led the creation of priorities to guide palliative and end of life care research in 2015. It was the first time people experiencing or affected by terminal illness identified and ranked research priorities on a large scale. Since then, these priorities have guided research funding from Marie Curie, our partners, and others. 10 years on, we’ve refreshed the list.
