HEALTH EDUCATION

Funding PALLIATIVE CARE

We support a wide range of projects in this programme. These may include projects developing tools and materials aimed at disease prevention, educating the public and health professionals about specific health conditions, or contributing to public health.


Please note that, if your Health Education project is being delivered outside the UK, you need to apply under our International funding programme.


We fund projects in two categories



The dissemination of knowledge about specific health conditions such as:


  • The development of print and online information resources for the public to provide patients and carers with guidance on how to cope with a particular condition.
  • The development and dissemination of resources for the healthcare community to raise awareness about a specific condition to support faster diagnosis and early intervention.
  • Small talks and larger conferences educating the public, carers, schools, and other settings about how to support someone living with a specific condition, or talks about prevention and early intervention.
  • Condition-specific conferences for patients, carers, and healthcare professionals.


Specialist training such as:


  • Upskilling of staff in a particular area of caregiving.
  • Highly specialist training in specific settings such as emergency services and palliative care.

Previous Grants

Since 2005, we have awarded over £1.4 million through this funding programme. Here are some examples of recent grants made in this category:

London Air Ambulance Charity

The Institute of Pre-Hospital Care at London’s Air Ambulance Charity is dedicated to driving excellence in pre-hospital care through the provision of educational and innovation activities to ensure the best possible outcomes for seriously injured patients. The Institute delivers events and courses for medical professionals and students from the UK and abroad, helping to further knowledge and explore ground-breaking topics related to pre-hospital care. Funding from The James Tudor Foundation enabled the Charity to hold three Golden Hour Conferences over the last four years which have helped to build an understanding of why patients die after traumatic injury and what can be done at the scene of an incident to improve their odds of survival. These learnings translate into improved care for patients – close to 2000 each year, including those treated during major incidents like the London Bridge terror attacks. Continuing our relationship, The Foundation has recently awarded funding for a new conference, the Human Factors Symposium. Running alongside it’s MSc in Pre-Hospital Medicine, the symposium will share best practice around optimising team performance which is key to ensure patient safety, excellent clinical outcomes, and staff wellbeing.

RICE

RICE is an internationally renowned research and treatment centre in Bath focusing on providing support for people with dementia and other conditions of older age to improve their quality of life and that of their families and carers. There are an estimated 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, a number that is expected to double within the next 20 years. RICEs high-quality Memory Clinic services for Bath and North-East Somerset provide assessment and diagnosis for patients with memory problems. They also offer additional support through education and support courses. The James Tudor Foundation is currently funding their Carers Course which provides simple coping strategies for carers, alongside specialist advice and support around issues such as isolation, stress and financial concerns.
