Lord Darzi is right - the rise in life-limiting and life-threatening conditions in children is a key challenge facing the NHS. Yet too few are getting the children's palliative care they need https://t.co/C7O75cZtTk

In light of today's announcement that Lord Falconer has come high enough in the Private Members' Bill ballot to propose an assisted dying bill in the House of Lords, some may find this explainer useful to think through the issues involved: https://t.co/1VC3btnrhs

Rest and relaxation fortnight started with an unusual activity for me

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

📣 RSV vaccination programme announced! 📣#CampaignWin

This is a crucial step to protect children’s health & reduce pressure on the NHS during winter.

Thank you to the 2,000+ paediatricians & healthcare professionals who signed our open letter & helped make this happen.

@Liz_ORiordan Dear Liz, so sorry to hear this terrible blow for you. Sending love your way. You are not alone 🤍🧡

The @LibDems have today committed to providing a fair funding deal for children's hospices in their #GeneralElection2024 manifesto, recognising the valuable services they provide. Read what we would like every party to commit to 👉🏽

@cudippallmed @FionaRawlinson1 @HEIW_NHS @APM_Hub @ApmTrainees @RCPWales @RCGPWales @ehospicenews @APCAssociation I really recommend this course for any health professional whose work includes palliative care ( adult or paediatric). Studying at Masters level, many years after qualification may seem daunting but faculty support students, enabling and empowering us to reclaim academia!!😊😊

Children in Gaza are living in a nightmare they can't wake up from.

The UK must immediately suspend arms sales to the Government of Israel and demand an immediate and definitive #CeasefireNOW to protect children.

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

Hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

That's our vision as today we unveil a new five year strategy and refreshed brand.

With rising demand, funding pressures and staff shortages, our bold plan aims to meet the challenges head-on.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Israeli airstrikes on Sunday killed at least 45 people in a camp for displaced Palestinians. Today there are reports of a further 21 killed.

We strongly condemn these horrific attacks, and the catastrophic ground incursion in Rafah.

This war on children must stop.

The UK must immediately suspend arms to the Government of Israel and demand an immediate and definitive #CeasefireNow.

We hope everyone had a lovely #ValentinesDay. 💓Some siblings at #LittleHarbour made some beautiful cards for their families this week. 🎨Our #MessyPlay rooms are a vital space for all our children and young people. These rooms help to break down barriers💚

Well done @BBCMorningLive @jacquijdesigns for showcasing the impact of 'turning away' from bereaved friends & neighbours.
Here are a few ideas for getting back in touch with people you feel may awkward to approach.
