Beautiful, moving tribute and storytelling from dear colleague Mpho Tutu van Furth on the faith, dying, rituals and death of her father Arch Desmond Tutu 🤍❤️ #ValueOfDeath#LancetWomen
Great to be at this conference @RoySocMed on #ValueofDeath@TheLancet@Richard56 kicking off discussion:
"The idea of death gives a narrative shape to life…
Death and dying belong to everybody it’s not just the territory of health care professionals"
Really encouraging to hear Hermione Elliott, founder of @livingwelldying talk about end-of-life doulas as ‘citizens’ who support the dying in their community. Cannot wait to get started with my own training. #valueofdeath

As we head towards the end of the year, my thoughts & prayers as always are with the bereaved families I campaigned with for many years. The families I've met on my Patient Safety journey. Each & everyone of you has made a difference to someone's life. 1/

Thinking about it, talking about it, considering perspectives, taking control to the extent that you can…this is what real authentic talk about #death is. It’s not shameful;it’s not taboo. Real life has the death left in. Thanks @PhelanVicky 💪🏻♥️ https://t.co/T8TRv7tNNo
It's a very special privilege to have worked with my sister @JennyKitzinger, inspired by my sister Polly Kitzinger (mistreated by medical professionals) to create medico-legal change, recognised by this award. Proud our family voice made a difference. Thanks to all who helped us.
British newspaper coverage re Do Not Attempt CPR #DNACPR - predominant theme was perceived lack of patient involvement& lack of surrogate involvement. Neg. language was common, esp. when decisions were presumed unilateral https://t.co/PKXhaLMATK
