Deep in conversation – the two Paul’s at the Forum’s Christmas Get Together held at St George’s Conference Centre, Leeds. Paul Carder (left) is Head of Research for West Yorkshire Research & Development which brings together Clinical Commissioning Groups in West Yorkshire and Harrogate. Paul Vose is the Forum’s Vice Chair, a member of West Yorkshire & Harrogate Cancer Alliance and a member of Mid Yorkshire’s Cancer Patient Partnership Group. Paul Carder was complimentary about the Forum’s role in supporting academics to talk to patients and carers. As a result of those conversations, £2 million of funding has been awarded to West Yorkshire for further research into end of life care planning.
