Biography

Jane Seymour is a nurse and social scientist who has worked in palliative care research and education since 1994. Before that she had a clinical career working mainly in acute and critical care settings. Her PhD was a study of end of life decision making in intensive care. She is currently the head of the Sue Ryder Care Centre for the Study of Supportive, Palliative and End of Life Care in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy at the University of Nottingham. The Centre has a wide portfolio of funded research in palliative and end of life care, with a particular emphasis on policy implementation and evaluation, advance care planning and older people's experiences and outcomes of end of life care. Jane is involved in nursing education at Master's and doctoral levels, and seeks to support nurses from the UK and internationally to develop and enhance clinical, academic and policy leadership roles. She works closely with the National End of Life Care Programme to support their work in implementing the End of Life Strategy for England.

Past Research

Jane Seymour has conducted research examining older people's understandings of and preferences for end-of-life care, and their experiences of 'dignity' towards the end of life. A particular focus has been the role played by new technologies in the relief of suffering and the procurement of the 'good' or 'natural' death, how older people experience and understand these issues and how their social and economic resources constrain their experiences. In addition, she has worked with leading charities and policy makers in the field of palliative and end of life care, to promote best practice and develop policy. For example,her work with the National End of Life Care Programme has assisted them in their essential work of identifying and implementing the priorities of the End of Life Care Strategy (2008). As well as providing the Programme with evaluative evidence about their performance and processes of working, she has drawn attention to the resources care homes need to provide better end of life care, reported on the state of public attitudes to death, dying and bereavement (in conjunction with the National Council for Palliative Care) and advised on approaches to changing attitudes. In addition, she has enabled the development of guidance for health and social care staff about decision making and advance care planning. This has informed a Council of Europe Symposium on medical decision making at the end of life. Latterly, she has developed a means of training volunteers to raise awareness of advance care planning in their communities or work settings, see: http://www.endoflifecareforadults.nhs.uk/education-and-training/acp-for-volunteers
