About

Dr. Catriona R. Mayland is a leading figure in palliative and end-of-life care, with a particular focus on head and neck oncology and the development of clinical standards. Her major contributions center on improving care quality for patients with advanced head and neck cancers, a field where symptom burden and complex needs are exceptionally high. She was instrumental in authoring the "British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO) standards 2020," a landmark paper with 29 citations that provides a comprehensive framework for multidisciplinary care. This work has shaped national guidelines, ensuring that palliative considerations are integrated from diagnosis onward. Beyond this, Dr. Mayland’s research explores symptom management, patient-reported outcomes, and the ethical dimensions of care at the end of life. Her impact is evident in the adoption of these standards across UK clinical practice, influencing how teams approach holistic support for this vulnerable population. A dedicated clinician-researcher, she bridges the gap between oncology and palliative medicine, making her a vital voice in advancing compassionate, evidence-based care for those with life-limiting illnesses.
