Palliative medicine and nursing specialists can be expert guides, teachers, leaders, and developers of best practice, but improving end-of-life care is clearly everyone’s business, writes @mancunianmedic

Are you a clinician working with breathless patients? We would like to hear about your experience of the hand-held fan (whether or not you use the fan in your clinical practice). Follow this link for our 5-minute survey (11 Qs) @wolfsonpallcare https://t.co/re5a8mvZST

@SimonNoahEtkind @PCU_Cambridge Yay! Hope we can catch up when you get here!

Good to see discussion about death and dying in the news: What we can all learn from this deathbed photo. (Spoiler alert: it’s actually a heartwarming story!) https://t.co/tUNWhg0emz

Emerging from #newborn haze and catching up on tweets to see if I’ve got any functioning #neurones left up there... it’s 50:50 at the mo #newmum #11weeksold

Volunteers are unequally distributed across end of life care settings. @cewalshe notes that her local hospice, 10 beds, has 700 volunteers. Her local care home, 60 beds, has 3 volunteers.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

I’ll be giving a public talk in Cambridge on 12th Nov about death, dying, symptoms, society, policy and palliation. Come!

Made our @BBCBreakfast debut this morning talking about the importance of #CMV screening to prevent deafness in #newborn babies. Great work being done @Hearglueear. Thanks also for the lovely congrats @stephbreakfast & best wishes for your pregnancy!

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

This simple test could prevent life-long deafness in babies born with the CMV virus👇

This is a wonderful initiative: a 'make a wish' ambulance to fulfill end of life requests: see a mountain or a concert, go to the beach or a sports game, visit your family or the chip shop.

They are willing to consider all requests.
Pass it on!

This is great news. Not just the money (which let’s face it is 2.5% of what the Hospice sector has to raise annually), but the message. Great that the PM acknowledges funding challenges in the hospice sector, and to have his support. Well done @TraceyBleakley @Peston @hospiceuk

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Such a good article by @charlottechurch, with strong message about palliative care. By sharing her experience, she will make a difference to others. Also, she is totally right about ‘syringe drivers’. https://t.co/HJgY4oqW9d

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Excellent letter by @SimonNoahEtkind in BMJ on assisted dying "The inequity of care provision at the end of life is neglected in the debate about assisted dying." https://t.co/EqoQtyQX0v

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

Imagine a world where the #NHS only part funded cardiology, where 3/4 angioplasties relied on second hand clothing and fun runs.
This is the reality for #EndOfLifeCare

Catching up with and enjoying the tweets from #EAPC2019 from the comfort of my sofa as am currently an enormous #pregnantlady so #thanks to those who took the time to tweet the key messages! There is some super #palliativecare #hpm #research going on.

[Jenny Lau @JelauPC]

The power of research! David Currow sharing the results of the largest #rct on the use of oxycodone for chronic breathlessness @EAPCvzw @Pall_Care_Aus #EAPC2019
