GPs play a key role in supporting the 500,000 people who die in the UK every year. That's why we've partnered with @RCGP to create the Daffodil Standards. https://t.co/ycNndWhowJ
Great to see our new #DaffodilStandards scheme with @mariecurieuk to improve end of life care for patients featured on @Channel4News - watch @HelenRCGP and Catherine Millington-Sanders’ interviews here
#reformhealth to discuss long term NHS plan. Lord Prior reflecting on deep fragmentation of NHS. Deeply damaging. Targets had their day in way being used.
I had never met a Lambanana before! She has been lent to us this year as part of our 60 year celebrations. Thanks to the hospice team for giving me a mini one!
Our patients loved meeting His Royal Highness. Several had met him years ago and had pictures and memories from those conversations. What a special afternoon for us all.
Thank you to @Debbie_abrahams for raising my Bill to remove the arbitrary & cruel six-month time limit for people with a terminal illness. Pleased that @AmberRuddHR is looking into our proposals. #Scrap6months@mariecurieuk@mndcampaigns
Thanks to Professor Allan Kellehear for delivering an excellent lecture on Compassionate Communities & Public Health approaches to End of Life Care yesterday in Parliament.
"We need to recognize that #PalliativeCare professionals are not the only experts in death and dying"
The least understood of palliative care is #grief. Grief is forever and is happening everywhere.
That's why we need a public health approach to palliative care. Prof Allan Kellehear #PalliativeCare#EoLC
Looking forward to this evening's lecture #EoLC#TerminalIllness but not about death and dying - more about caring so people can live well until the end.
We look forward to tomorrow's lecture on compassionate communities & the public health approaches to end of life care in Parliament #EOLC#TerminalIllness
