Connecting communities across the globe: Atlas protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Providing universal access to palliative care is increasingly recognised as a global public health priority, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Compassionate communities could help with provision by fostering community-led responses to dying, death and grief. Despite their global growth, compassionate communities are often absent from national and international palliative care strategies, and few are represented in academic literature. This, along with their diversity and community-defined nature, can contribute to difficulties in documentation, evaluation and visibility, limiting the ability to showcase their benefits, form partnerships and evaluate practice.

Objectives

This study protocol outlines the development of the first global atlas of compass
