Day 1 for me in the BRAND NEW Palliative Care Unit at @bruyerecare - just stunning views, decor, patient care, world-leading research…thanks to everyone who made this happen.

“We need to start taking hospice and palliative care more seriously, acknowledging that quality of death is just as important as quality of life, and one can inform the other.” Thank you @picardonhealth

“In many cases, it’s easier to prescribe a cancer medicine near the end of life in some ways than it is to have the really deep and difficult but important conversations about end of life.”

@PallmedR A great success for our team at @hopitalmontfort and everyone who has used the end-of-life orders over the last 8 years, felicitations!

[Palliative Medicine Reports @PallmedR]

@PallmedR Findings support standardized order sets as a good framework allowing generalist hospital staff to improve adherence to established #PalliativeCare principles and improve end-of-life care of hospital inpatients https://t.co/o9FMi2tfwN @GraceWarmels

Fellow tweeters: I just registered to #vote by mail. It’s easy, takes about 3 minutes, and doesn’t require breathing near anyone.

This is beautiful. This is human. This is what quality care (especially quality #palliative care) looks like💛#hpc

Yesterday, while going over the chart of one of the ICU patients I was taking care of, I noticed there was a 2 page note from his wife, describing who he was as a person and what was important to him. I kinda wish everyone I took care of had one. #humanityinmedicine ❤️

[Jane Philpott @janephilpott]

This is a good time to secure support from regulators as well as government partners to implement national #licensure for nurses, doctors, and others - something health workers have wanted for a long time.

[Ritika Goel @RitikaGoelTO]

Thinking about all the families with young kids living in small spaces without outdoor space, that will be incentivized to gather indoors to play rather than outside where it’s safer, for fear of police. So much privilege is built into today’s announcement. #onpoli #COVID19ON

Maybe the Science Table should hire some lobbyists?
