EOLC Partners Think Tank

The ‘What matters’ movement seeks to get you talking to your family and friends about things that are important to you (and them) now and in the future.

[EOLC Partners Think Tank @WhatMattersConv]

Important conversations happen every day. Today as we reflect on the last year, let’s take the opportunity to talk to our loved ones about what matters most to each of us. https://t.co/39BlpQz8KL #DayOfReflection #WhatMattersMost #ReflectAndConnect 💛🕯️

@NoBarriersHere #ACP workshop with our final cohort, using arts approaches & storytelling to discover #Whatmatters at the end of life & after death.

A space for important conversations about living & dying, co-produced with people with intellectual disabilities.

[Prof. Mark Taubert @ProfMarkTaubert]

A patient: ‘I do NOT want to talk about dying’
Me: ‘No problem, let’s talk about you living’
Pt: ‘Sounds good’

Followed by a long chat about preferences & #WhatMattersMost to them. D-word didn't have to feature
Made me think about how much conversations have to be individualised

Asking the simple question, 'What matters to you?' will have the ability to build trust, empower people, promote shared decision making & help people to live lives that most matter to them not just today but every day. #WhatMattersToYou #WMTY21 @Pers_Care @SouthWestIPC @NHSSW

It's What Matters To You Day! Important language. If we don't ask, we'll never know. Humbling conversations. Empowering relationship-based medicine. @RCGP & EOLC partners Think Tank developed charter & resources https://t.co/qWcRFRcpFj
Also love, https://t.co/m5iVjdmEle

There is an urgent need to de-medicalise end of life conversations & change the debate on advance/anticipatory care planning. It's never too early to talk to our family and friends about @WhatMattersConv @LucyAlexandria @rcgp @ProfMarkTaubert @carriep100 https://t.co/qWcRFRcpFj
