What we will do

Understand global best practice 

A realist review will examine international palliative care models for neurodegenerative conditions to understand: 

• what works
• for whom
• in what contexts
• why it works 

This approach helps identify which elements of global models could realistically and effectively be adapted for Mexico’s health system.  

Engage key stakeholders in co-design 

Two online Deliberative Dialogue Workshops will bring together: 

• healthcare professionals
• older adults and family carers (experts by experience)
• advocates and civil society organisations
• policymakers
• researchers 

Together, they will evaluate relevant evidence, discuss barriers and opportunities, and co-create recommendations for an adapted palliative care model. 

Produce actionable, culturally grounded guidance 

The project will develop a practical set of recommendations to guide service providers, educators and policymakers in strengthening palliative care for neurodegenerative conditions in Mexico. 

Build long-term international collaboration 

The project serves as the foundation for a sustainable, transdisciplinary partnership between Mexico, the UK and Brazil, supporting future research, training and capacity-building in neuro-palliative care.
