Research

Cancer Care West funds a number of specific, patient focused research projects as well as jointly funding Hardiman PhD scholarships with NUI Galway.

Qualitative Research

Between October 2014 and March 2015 Cancer Care West undertook a research study to better understand Inis Aoibhinn Residents’ experience of Cancer Care West’s services. Through these qualitative studies we gathered information to help evaluate our services and to identify some themes which emerged from Residents’ feedback. The key findings and recommendations are outlined in our report – “More than just a place to stay, Inis Aoibhinn Residents’ experience of services at Cancer Care West”
