To look at the relationship between smoking and Basal Cell Carcinoma.
A case control study using the THIN database.
This study is now complete. Findings demonstrate that nursing homes are part of a larger care system and the quality of their interrelationships with the various parts of that system determines the quality of end of life care they can provide. If a nursing home cannot access support externally, they have to work in isolation to provide end of life care and are the often the sole advocate for the residents in their care. Further, if a nursing home is unaware of specific support available in the wider system, absence of support may not be recognized and acknowledged, and their isolation and lack of confidence is compounded.
