4. Proactively reflect on our current models of care
5. Sustain ourselves

The challenge - seeing equity as our core business in palliative care:
1. Breaking down silos - linkage between systems

Can be scary to witness for family, loved ones and health care professionals looking on.

Understanding a little about what is happening may help alleviate some of that distress 🧵

Emotional skills aren’t “soft skills.”

Our emotions are the essence of what makes us human. They are at the heart of mental health, wellbeing, culture, learning, innovation, relationships—everything that matters to healthy people, organizations, and co…

People want to know more about what happens as we die.
My TEDx talk for @TEDxNewcastle went live yesterday. It's already been viewed 44,000 times.
Please help it get out into the world: pass it on in any way you can.

The world's most valuable skill:

Communicating effectively.

Messing this up could ruin your career.

Here are 7 communication frameworks to help you sail through those difficult conversations:

[Arron Veltre-Catlin @ArronSam]

Am still seeking just right… but thank you for articulating!

[Dr. Charlotte Grinberg @DrCharlotteG]

In palliative care we have to figure out (from verbal and nonverbal cues) how much information someone is ready to receive. Sometimes I push the conversation too far. Sometimes I don't push the conversation far enough. And sometimes it's just right.

More than any other speciality I've seen:

They understand life.
They celebrate hope.
They stay for the journey.
