Public health and palliative care doctor...a more important combination of specialities than you'd think.

[Prof Sarah-Jayne Blakemore @sjblakemore]

I wrote an article about my dad's death, and how it affected my views on assisted dying, published in the Times

Please read our @thetimes letter about what dying is typically like.

It would be so easy to fear from the examples cited in the assisted dying debate that horrific death is the norm.

It isn't - really. Between us we have >300 yrs of combined experience treating dying people.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

This is important. There is so much confusion and fear around pain, and use of drugs such as morphine, at the end of life.

We often hear “Doctors already give people drugs at the end of life with the intention of killing them”

Short thread…

[The British Journal of General Practice @BJGPjournal]

The communication of poor prognosis from secondary to #PrimaryCare is highly valued by GPs, but rarely occurs due to cultural and systemic challenges https://t.co/yTLtnD1R4m @capcbristol @drpoco @peolcsw @SamMerriel  @lucy_selman @Peli_Cam @purdy_s @AdamMcDermott

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Oh this is very sad news indeed. Robert Twycross was hugely important to the development of palliative care in the UK and beyond. He was kind, thoughtful and humble. He published this paper on assisted dying earlier this year, a topic he cared deeply about https://t.co/TgM1JxEoMB

📢 We've just published our Better End of Life Report.

People have told us that access to high-quality palliative and end of life care is patchy, inconsistent, and inequitable. But better care is possible.

Here's 3 key things you need to know... 👇

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This is Great Britain and the likes of @Nigel_Farage who stir up so much hate & division can just get in the sea.

[CharlotteChamberlain @C_A_Chamberlain]

@JamillaHussain1 Jamilla this is awful. I’m so sorry. I am so angry you are expected /forced to endure this behaviour.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

In Bristol last night many hundreds gathered to protect an asylum hotel from racist rioters

The good people chanting
“We are many, you are few
We are Bristol, who are you?”

I💙you Bristolians
You give us all hope

Existing evidence for the effectiveness of telephone advice lines is limited and largely based on observational studies of insufficient methodological quality. #hpm #hapc #palliativecare https://t.co/rmb2m20II6
