A series of events were hosted to foster a research culture, including establishing a monthly seminar programme, research sandpits, bespoke research training and dissemination events. A diverse community of patient and public involvement partners was established to support and shape the developing research. Multiple project and two fellowship applications were supported by the partnership. A qualitative study identified issues pertinent to local access to data that could support research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"abs1-4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This work has been a catalyst for palliative and end-of-life care research and practice collaborations to develop.
