David Wenzel is a PhD student at the Â鶹ÊÓƵ, funded through the Midlands Mental Health and Neurosciences Doctoral Training Programme. His doctoral research investigates the experiences and impacts of dying while receiving non-invasive advanced respiratory support, using a triangulated approach that combines staff perspectives, family narratives, and ethnographic observation. David’s work bridges clinical practice and sociological inquiry within palliative care, with a particular focus on ethically complex decision-making in end-of-life settings. He also continues to work clinically in palliative and internal medicine with LOROS Hospice, maintaining a specialist interest in the management of terminal breathlessness and the role of non-invasive respiratory support in the dying process. David holds an undergraduate degree and a Master’s in Research Methodology from the Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
