In this webinar we will draw on findings from a national palliative and end-of-life care research workforce survey and mapping exercise. We will describe the size and geographical distribution of the current research workforce, then share suggestions to support research capacity building and career progression. The session will be interactive, and together we will discuss actions that researchers, organisations and funders can take to build capacity and highlight priorities for future research investment.
