Overview

With a first-degree in Psychology and Health (University of Porto, 2001) and an MSc and a PhD in Palliative Care (King’s College London - KCL, 2006 and 2012), Barbara Gomes is Invited Coordinating Researcher (equivalent to Full Professor) at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra. At CIBB, she coordinates the thematic line of Healthcare Challenges and leads the Palliative Care, End of Life and Bereavement Care Research Group. In 2022, Barbara Gomes has been awarded a prestigious Starting Grant by the European Research Council to research dying places cross-nationally. In 2024, she was granted the Floriani Chair in Palliative Care, funded by the Floriani Foundation. She is also Invited Senior Research Fellow at the Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care, Policy & Rehabilitation (KCL) and Scientific Advisor of the “la Caixa Foundation” Comprehensive Programme for People with Advanced Diseases in Portugal since 2018.

The aim of Barbara Gomes’ research is to proof care at the end of life, to ensure it matches people’s preferences and priorities. She has surveyed patient and family experiences with end of life care and analysed population mortality data across nations, with a focus on tackling the mismatch between where people would prefer to die and where they actually die. She has published over 80 papers (H index = 33; >6000 citations in high impact journals, with first authored publications in the BMJ, Annals of Oncology and JAMA). She is currently supervising 8 PhD students.

Her research has informed health policy and triggered strategic planning, service developments as well as dialogue with the public and the media about palliative care in Europe and beyond. Her work has been referred in several national policy documents in the UK and Portugal and debated at the House of Lords (UK) and at the Portuguese and Scottish Parliaments. Several independent organisations have used her work to highlight issues surrounding place of care and place of death (WHO, OECD, Nuffield Trust, King’s Fund, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, "la Caixa" Foundation, International and national associations of patients, informal carers and palliative care professionals). Her studies have also reached the public arena via press coverage (by the CNN, BBC, NPR, ABC News, Guardian and Huffington Post among others). The research methods she has developed during her MSc and PhD studies have been adopted by others in Europe and beyond (colleagues undertook projections on place of death in Belgium, Germany and Scotland and conducted QUALYCARE studies in Northern Ireland, Dublin and New York).
