Recent research collaborations at Chestnut Tree House

Children, young people, families and staff from Chestnut Tree House have been helping researchers create a new questionnaire. The questionnaire is called the Children’s Palliative Outcome Scale, or ‘C-POS’. This new tool will help healthcare teams to better understand children and young people’s needs and feelings (as well as those of their family and/or carers). More information about the study can be found here: Children’s Palliative Outcome Scale

In collaboration with King’s College London
