The PaCCSC strategic plan sets out our goals and objectives for 2023 to 2028. The plan's focus on five strategic directions provides a road map for the collaborative's growth and innovation.
Better medicines, treatments, and advances in technology, have led to people living longer, healthier lives. These advancements have also led to an increase in people living with multiple health problems that make care more complex. High-quality evidence gained from clinical research is needed to improve the care of people living with life-limiting illness requiring palliative care.
The Palliative Care Clinical Studies Collaborative (PaCCSC) is an Australian-based research network located at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). PaCCSC was formed in 2006 to bring together a network of clinicians, researchers, consumers and stakeholders to improve the evidence base for the provision of palliative care.
The PaCCSC vision
All people impacted by a life-limiting illness will have access to evidence-based palliative care that improves their quality of life.
The PaCCSC purpose
To facilitate high-quality inclusive clinical research through collaboration and capacity building that informs the evidence base for the provision of best practice and policy in palliative care.
