If you need support to read instructions📑, or if you are Deaf 🧏or Blind 👨‍🦯, you will now find it easier to visit a Covid testing centre thanks to changes we've made as a result of your feedback. Read our article here: https://t.co/37OJbgjqxM

'Quality of Life' definitely says what it does on the tin & reflects the care & compassion all of our palliative care team here @MTWnhs offer.
Maybe it would also make it easier for many to talk about death & dying more easily too.

[Dr Liz O'Riordan @Liz_ORiordan]

What if palliative care was known as the Quality of Life team? And everyone struggling with symptoms , be it breathless from Covid, chronic pain or dying was referred to them - to get a better quality of life in hospital?

[KM Cancer Information Project @CancerKM]

As we enter a new period of restrictions we wanted to remind you of everything we're doing to keep anyone attending Kent Oncology Centre @MTWnhs safe.

An unexplained pain that lasts three weeks or more could be a sign of cancer. It’s probably nothing serious, but finding cancer early makes it more treatable.

Your NHS is here to see you, safely. https://t.co/hivbfraTjL

[Mike Moran MBE @MikeMoranMBE]

This is a really important message to all men which I am happy to amplify and signpost to @mastectomynet

[Care Quality Commission @CareQualityComm]

An unexplained lump could be a sign of cancer. It’s probably nothing serious, but finding cancer early makes it more treatable.

Contact your GP.
