Research

No Barriers Here© (ICER) commenced April 2021 and is a co-produced community-based action research project that aims to improve access to palliative and end of life care for people who may be excluded by identity, culture, ethnicity or race. No Barriers Here© (ICER) is led by The Mary Stevens Hospice, in partnership with The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust and funded by NHS Charities Together.

The project intends to improve approaches to advance care planning using the arts-based workshops with people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups (BAME), education for health care professionals and community engagement.
