Care Plus is a multi-site study implementing palliative care for people with cancer to address the gaps between evidence and practice. It aims to reduce variation in clinical practice and ensure that best quality care is delivered in a timely and routine way.
The study takes a randomised, stepped-wedge approach, with ‘planning, engagement, intervention delivery, and evaluation’ stages at three cancer treatment centres. The goal is to improve health outcomes for patients with advanced cancer at a lower cost, with reduced hospitalisation rates
