Qualitative interview

Qualitative data will be obtained through semi-structured interviews with adults with cancer and palliative care needs. Patients will be invited to bring their carer to the interview. EG will conduct and transcribe up to 30 audio-recorded semi-structured interviews, which will be carried out at the patient's preferred location (either at home, over the phone, or in a pre-booked room at St Joseph's Hospice).
