Join Professor Liz Sampson from Queen Mary University London as she reveals groundbreaking insights from the EMBED-Care programme, showcasing how big data is revolutionising palliative care for people with dementia.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Sampson challenges common misconceptions about dementia care while presenting powerful evidence on healthcare utilisation patterns, cost implications, and the concerning rise in emergency hospital admissions among dementia patients in their final year of life.

She explores how data analysis has uncovered critical unmet clinical needs and demonstrates innovative assessment tools that function as interventions themselves.

This podcast is free to listen - but the care behind it isn’t.

Rowcroft Hospice is a registered charity, and much of our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of local supporters. We provide outstanding care to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families across South Devon—through our inpatient and outpatient services, as well as vital care at home.

We’re also planning to expand our impact even further, with a pioneering 60-bed dementia and complex nursing care home at our site in Torquay, designed to support some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
