Dr Caroline Shulman was previously the Lead GP for the King’s College Hospital Pathway team. Prior to working in the Pathway team, Caroline was a GP within a specialist homelessness practice, and was a Senior Lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, addressing malaria and maternal health in Africa.
Caroline was the Principal Investigator, and project leader on Pathway’s End of Life care project in partnership with Dr Megan Armstrong and Dr Briony Hudson.
Caroline’s initial end of life care research was fully funded for three years, by the Oak Foundation. This work explored the challenges in current provision, and brought together people experiencing homelessness, experts by experience, hostel and day centre staff and healthcare providers to identify potential solutions. Research funding was then renewed for two further years to focus on Palliative Care Training.
