Prof Willis worked with his wife Prof Tracey Willis who is a neuromuscular specialist at RJAH, and other colleagues, during a period of eight years to develop the framework for how and when palliative care should be offered.
The hospice said the model had been adopted nationally, and would be introduced at the World Muscle Society’s annual conference in October.
It is hoped it could be adopted globally.
“Something developed here in Shropshire may help shape palliative care for people with neuromuscular conditions around the world,” said Prof Willis.
“More importantly, it means that no matter where you live, you can expect the same standard of care.”
