Coma and Disorders of Consciousness research centre
We are a multi-disciplinary group of researchers based at Cardiff University exploring the cultural, ethical, legal and social dimensions of coma, vegetative and minimally conscious states. We do research into how decision-making, care and support can be improved. We’ve created online resources to support patients’ families and healthcare practitioners, and we’ve worked with legal experts to improve how the law and the courts address best interests and deal with end-of-life decisions. We are independent of any campaigning or political organisations and committed to robust research evidence both in the work that we do and in making recommendations for changes to policy and practice.
