Most people want to die at home. However, when they face health issues, emergency medical services are often the only help. Our new paper explores what are the reasons behind this https://t.co/rhkDx1wID8

[Martin Loucka @MartinLoucka]

People living with serious illness can sustain their hope while holding both realistic and unrealistic illness expectations. Our new study has just been published in @PalliativeMedJ It was great honor to work with @SchenkerYael @ADAlthousePhD and the team https://t.co/MHIHqDdP34

Bylo mi ctí se dnes zúčastnit setkání s paní ministryní, společně s 9 dalšími mladými vědci, kteří získali grant PRIMUS na @UniKarlova. Vážím si upřímného zájmu paní ministryně a jsem nadšen ze skvělé společnosti inspirativních kolegů a kolegyň.

[Helena Langšádlová @H_Langsadlova]

Dnes jsem ve @strakovka přivítala mladé a perspektivní vědce, kteří uspěli v interní soutěži @UniKarlova Primus. Ta je určena pro špičkové vědce, kteří zakládají své skupiny. Vyslechla jsem od nich mnoho podnětů, které vyplývají i z jejich zahraničních zkušeností, velmi za ně děkuji.

This paper is worth reading: snapshot UK-wide audit of unmet need among people dying in hospital who were not known to specialist palliative care teams.
93% patients had unmet needs, 57% required immediate palliative intervention.

families
2️⃣strong negative emotions
3️⃣limited health literacy
