These things can seem daunting and scary to talk about! However, we hope to show you that you are not alone.

Some people saying that the #Coronavirus vaccine 💉 is not safe, because it affects female fertility, contains animal products, is not halal/kosher, government going to use it to track you, or that it’s linked to 5G!
So in simple #Punjabi (ਠੇਠ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), let’s tackle these claims.
A recent project showed that people of South Asian backgrounds weren’t accessing end of life/palliative care as much as others. We will be releasing a film Friday that hopes to start a conversation and that professionals will find useful when encouraging people to

With all the Sikh community led rallies in support of the #FarmersProtest in India taking place, the Sikh Health Foundation have released this very helpful infographic on how to stay Covid safe whilst taking part.

Thanks to @BMJ_SPCare, we have published an article on the Sikh Religion and Palliative Care.
It highlights unique Sikh philosophy and how this relates to medical ethics and palliative/ end of life situations.

Thank you to @sikhchannel and @MarieCurieWM for helping to discuss end of life care and dying in the Punjabi Sikh community.
Talk to your elders about their preferences and wishes, where they want to be looked after and discuss with your GP.

Massive thanks to @sikhchannel for inviting @mariecurieuk to The Breakfast Show this morning to talk about end of life care. You can catch up here: https://t.co/sZ50UlIYHy
I come across so many families who don't know what their loved one would want for their end of life, and having to make decisions for them without an inkling of insight ---> talk with your loved ones about end of life preferences in good health.
Hi all!
I'm currently doing some research into Health related Advance Care Planning, within the Punjabi community.

@SwbConnectedPC@CareFaisla @SandwellHWBB @AgeUKSandwell@HWSandwell@sandwellcouncil@SandwellSCOPA it's crucial.
