... but to support people to take this up, the conversation must turn to pay as well

Really delighted and proud to see the latest of our @CSI_KCL@ACCESSCare_CSI@MarieCurieUK funded work published in @socscimed. This work advances theories of grief by highlighting the liminality some people experience following the death of a partner: https://t.co/mtB9vJizVz

Important new report from the APPG on hospice and palliative care, looking at the patchiness and precariousness of funding, including that for bereavement support
Read the full report below👇
⚠️ Hospice funding needs attention.
A new report by a cross party group of MPs found that the postcode lottery of hospice funding means services they provide for dying people and their families, and the support they provide to the health system, are at risk.
We were saddened to hear of the death of Colin Murray Parkes, founding father of bereavement support and research in the UK.
Some wonderful tributes have been shared, celebrating his work, and the inspiration and support he gave to many in the field. https://t.co/KmOcd6JNwY
