"You’ve put yourself in control of what’s going to happen.
And when you’re in control you feel calmer." - Dr @bumblebeenush
Planning ahead gives you control over your treatment and care, and reassurance that the right decisions will be made.
"When done well, conversations about end-of-life planning can give people a valuable sense of control."
We worked with several GPs to develop our new resource, to support GPs to have important conversations with patients by phone or video.

Pleased our letter was published in todays @thesundaytimes.

Many lovely people have contacted me since @itvnews last night to ask how they can sign up to a hospice lottery & help their local hospice. You can find your local hospice here: https://t.co/D7o7r4InhW & details of how to sign-up will be on their website. Thankyou!!!! @hospiceuk
Here’s my advice, as an NHS palliative care doctor, for how to chat with your loved ones about their advance care wishes.
It might feel daunting - but it’s so important to be prepared. Just in case ❤️
Please share.

many fundraising events are cancelled. @Paulsartoriorg are the people who do end of life care in #SirBenfro#Pembrokeshire not the big national charities
Message in a bottle from @lionsclubs , still one of the most effective (non digital) ways of sharing key information with ambulance clinicians https://t.co/aZovAyNJtB
@WelshAmbulance NEPTS EoLC Rapid Transport Service clocked up its 1000th journey today, that’s 1000 patients & their families that’ve received not only a rapid response but the kindness and compassion that NEPTS crews are so good at delivering, all at a time that matters most
