Heart failure causes major suffering, high mortality, and escalating healthcare costs. This research identifies what people with heart failure and their carers need from home-based supportive care, including nurse-led support, better communication, and coordinated services. By defining and prioritising key recommendations, the project aims to guide policy toward improving quality of life and reducing hospitalisations.

This research tests a new personalised care model for Parkinson’s called Prime Care, offering rapid access to support and tailored interventions based on each patient’s risk of hospital admission. A two-year clinical trial of 214 participants will determine whether this approach improves wellbeing and reduces costly, harmful hospital stays.
