Please read this @Ara_Darzi & @wesstreeting on the vital importance of ensuring hospice & community palliative care are funded as bedrock NHS services 🙏

Otherwise, some of the most vulnerable patients in Britain will suffer avoidably at the end of life 😔https://t.co/SKXnnkONKl

There is a pressing need to increase the availability of emotional support to healthcare professionals.

#palliative care is still too patchy across the UK & the world. @CicelySaunders1 set out a 7 point action plan, 'You matter because you are you' of what is needed: https://t.co/9xfEY8phxj

Unequal in life is no doubt mirrored during death and in grief. How can we become the better society? Out now. A must read Health inequalities, lives cut short - IHE https://t.co/mNuCxDalLO

So very sad to see this.
18 months ago this Government were talking about 'levelling up' R&D spending in the UK

Now we see an amazing organisation that has designed, driven and disseminated cancer research having to 'wind down' after 22 years.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Outstanding @CicelySaunders1 Annual Lecture from @HMChochinov on dignity, intensive caring and the Platinum Rule. Highly topical, and applicable across all of health and care.

[Cicely Saunders Institute at King's @CSI_KCL]

We examine, we diagnose, we fix – but we need to acknowledge elements of human suffering that defy repair. Embrace notion of 'therapeutic humility' @HMChochinov #CSIAnnualLecture23
