You can’t change any of the services involved without downstream impact on the other variables. Palliative care teams, hospices and their patients should have a place at the table when considering service changes or shifts in place of care.

A cleft isn’t just cosmetic, and there’s no ‘quick fix’. We’ve already dealt with a list of treatments and issues, two operations, and struggles with feeding.” [1/2]

We know that #fatigue can be overwhelming, and that it is common to experience a boom and bust cycle. We asked Joseph Loades, physiotherapist, to answer your questions about fatigue and offer advice on how to manage the boom and bust cycle.

So many people look away and scroll by 💙

Most people don't realise how dramatically a few minutes and a few pounds can change a life.

One £250 surgery can heal a child’s cleft, but any amount is transformative to a child in need.

I raised the issue of dual mandates today. I think we should ban MSPs from sitting as MPs or in the House of Lords, where they could take a leave of absence. The @scotgov has agreed to consult on the issue at pace.

👉 Delays in getting the right support for chronic pain and fatigue can have truly devastating effects on people’s lives.

I know @jenni_minto is incredibly interested in serving these patients better and I look forward to continuing the conversation.
