| Annotation | This document is an edited version of 'User involvement in palliative care: a scoping study', which was funded by St Christopher's Hospice in 2004, and can be found on the NCPC website (www.ncpc.org.uk). The Service User Advisory Group (SUAG) at the NCPC recognised the need for this document to be brought up to date, placed in the public domain, and in an accessible format. Sian Maslin-Prothero and Helen Findlay from the SUAG worked with Professor Sheila Payne and colleagues to edit and update the original report for 2008. User involvement is widely promoted within health and social care policy as an effective means of developing patient-centred services. This report is predominantly concerned with the development of user involvement initiatives in relation to services rather than research. It outlines the findings of a literature search in three ways: bibliometric analysis, an annotated bibliography, and qualitative content analysis. The views of key informants obtained using face-to-face or telephone interviews are presented, and confirm an an increasing level of activity in relation to user involvement in palliative care.
