@iasupport Yes I haven't had a full nights sleep since I had my operation

[Prof. Mark Taubert @ProfMarkTaubert]

'Palliative care as a discipline was built around a single cultural assumption: that a good death means an autonomous individual making informed, documented choices about their own care. That assumption is Western, not universal. And when you treat it as universal, you don’t just fail patients from other cultures. You make their values invisible'

Nobody should die in a hospital corridor. 💔

Terminally ill people deserve comfort, dignity and the right care at the end of their life, not waiting rooms and hallways.

These are positive words from @WesStreeting. But to make sure terminally ill people can actually get the care they need, and die in a place they feel comfortable, we need a proper plan and investment to transform palliative and end of life care in every community.

When bombs fell on a small Spanish town in 1937, Picasso answered with a painting that showed a stark and powerful reaction to the horrors of war. Here’s the story behind the masterpiece:

The fear and complete misunderstanding about syringe drivers continues sadly.
Highly prevalent in health care professionals too as there is no education on how they work, the pharmacology or comparison with other routes of medication administration. Here is something to help 👇

What are the experiences of dietitians working in palliative care in Norway? Gro Trae (Frambu Foundation & Oslo Metropolitan Uni) + team uncovered nutrition mgmt with a MDT is key, as are organisational structures and relationships with a child’s family. https://t.co/jprh6U5A07

Recently I’ve been revisiting “Dying for Beginners” by Kathryn Mannix.
Videos like this can help explain the dying process in a way that feels safe, challenge stigma around palliative care and normalise discussions about death as part of life.

Deeply worrying findings. There’s a pressing need to improve the provision of palliative and end of life care for people of all ages.

Can evidence-based training improve enteral nutrition practices in palliative care? 🩺📚 A study by Elif Okur (Trabzon University) saw a significant increase in knowledge one month after conducting a 2-hour training session with nurses. Read more on JHND: https://t.co/4FFZ28M7Dp

I never get excited about Kerry clubs winning these competitions.

Feck all senior teams means they have an unfair advantage over other counties

Ireland obtained independence in 1921 but did not get its own coins until 1928 after a lengthy process

While many national coins sought to portray national strength, like America’s Eagles, or authority and subjectude, like Britain’s sovereign, at the first opportunity to express itself in coins the Irish reverted to a long standing love of land, nature & rural life.

The coins included the horse, wolfhound, salmon, bull, hare and hen with chicks, with the harp a universal image on the reverse. Many had connections to Gaelic Ireland.
The harp was styled on the Brian Boru harp.

In later years, rarities like a special ten-shilling Padraig Pearce coin was minted in 1966, the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising

They were in use until 1971 when decimalisation came into effect. The later Irish Punt coin echoed the animal style with a red deer
