Resources for palliative care doctors
Best practice for palliative and end of life care
We have developed a best practice resource for clinicians and healthcare professionals involved in any aspect of cancer care in the last years of life. This resource includes:
- case studies and examples of best practice
- research from leading charities and organisations
- updates on innovation and quality improvement initiatives
- e-learning courses, training and webinars.
We aim for this resource to support you in educating, advising on and highlighting best practice in palliative and end of life care across the UK.
Innovation in cancer care resources
We invest in programmes and services to help professionals adopt new and innovative ways to deliver cancer care in the UK. Working in communities and with the NHS, we fund pilots to improve experiences and outcomes for people with cancer. With this knowledge, we have created tools and resources to help you deliver:

Cancer and Domestic Abuse: a toolkit for professionals
This toolkit is designed to help healthcare professionals working with people affected by cancer. It can help you to identify and respond to signs of domestic abuse affecting patients and carers.
Domestic abuse causes long-lasting physical and mental health harm. It can impact cancer care, treatment, and recovery. Working in cancer, you have a unique window of opportunity to intervene and make a difference.
Watch a recording of the toolkit launch, where you will hear from Macmillan CEO Gemma Peters, two lived experience voices and partnership leads from Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse, the University of Bristol, and University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
For any questions or feedback on the project, please contact canceranddomesticabuse@macmillan.org.uk.
