💛 Great to be at the launch of @MarieCurieSCO Scottish Parliament #SP26 Campaign

Important to make sure all political parties work to deliver a Right to Palliative Care and support a better end of life for all Scots in manifestos at the 2026 election and in the next Parliament.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Christina McKelvie’s death, our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues. Christina was a joy to work with, who championed palliative and end of life care with great compassion and commitment both as an MSP and Government Minister.

Positive weekend at #ScotLab25 topped off with the inspiring fringe event exploring how we can ensure everyone can access the palliative and end of life care they need. Thank you @ZubirAhmed @JackieBMSP @PaulJSweeney and everyone who attended and joined the discussion

[Marie Curie Scotland @MarieCurieSCO]

Attending #ScotLab25? 90% of people would benefit from palliative and end of life care, but too many people are missing out. Join our lunchtime fringe event on Saturday in Dochart 1 as we explore how we might fix palliative care with @zubirahmed @jackiebmsp and @PaulJSweeney

It's disappointing to read that winter fuel payment letters were sent to people's loved ones that had died.

✍️Companies need to protect grieving people from pain and distress. That's why we're campaigning to make 'Sadmin' simple: https://t.co/MSdch8Q2Da

💬🚨 "Excellent end of life care is possible, but our new report shows too few are getting it."

Our Better End of Life report shows access to high-quality palliative and end of life care is patchy, inconsistent and inequitable. But better care is possible.

Carol, the chaplain at our Glasgow Hospice, has described her job as 'the best in the world.' 💛

"Helping people find peace in their final days is a large part of my job. I want to make sure they go on to the next stage of their journey without regrets."
