The National Bereavement Alliance have published a discussion paper on bereavement research gaps and priorities in the UK.
Bereavement research has a rich and significant history in the UK, across topics and disciplines. However, there are still gaps in our knowledge and understanding of these topics. Most recently, the COVID-19 outbreak and infection control measures have provoked new and urgent questions about the nature of bereavement – and how best to support bereaved people – in these extraordinary times.
This discussion paper summarises relevant findings on perceived research gaps or priorities from three projects in the UK.
