@palliverse #PalliCOVID #PallANZ Worth a look folks!

[James Jap @japmanforever]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ Bring on the common-sense Pandemic!

[Meera agar @meera_agar]

@Dr_Chi_Li totally - you read my mind. COVID 19 seems to have allowed common sense to operate and States/territories cooperation - despite the closed borders more collaboration than ever!

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ The lonely have become even lonelier

[Dr. Clairebear @dr_clairebear]

@sonialf @Elissa_Campbell @kate_reed76 Also the reduction in social interaction and stimulation will have a tremendous impact, particularly on older people. #PallANZ

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ #PalliativeCare is everyone’s business

[James Jap @japmanforever]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T3: Great idea @Richt13Thurlow As it is a matter of when, not if, it all happens again

[James Jap @japmanforever]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T2: Social effects not just healthcare

[nzherald @nzherald]

The Ministry of Social Development is bracing for a massive increase in welfare applications in response to an expected tidal wave of unemployment created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T2: The third surge @Elissa_Campbell @Dr_Chi_Li

[Palliative Care Australia @Pall_Care_Aus]

@AileenCollier15 PCA is currently preparing a submission - we're seeking a balance, which recognises facilities need to take active measures to protect residents, their families & staff, while at the same time ensuring that elderly residents maintain social contact with loved ones #PallANZ

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The initial eagerness to play our part in this crisis, to get “stuck in” and to make a difference has been replaced by an intense and overwhelming fatigue. @ClareGerada and @joyful_doctor discuss the toll of “covid fatigue”

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T2: Delayed surgeries and treatments will have their impacts too.

[Meera agar @meera_agar]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T2: There is also concern that the diagnosis rate of new cancers is low - these may present late diagnoses?

[James Jap @japmanforever]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T2: Psychosocial/spiritual support needs will increase. Delayed funerals may mean delayed coping with loss, or a lot of complicated grief

[James Jap @japmanforever]

#PalliCOVID #PallANZ T1: Family/Whanau impact has been one of the great opportunity costs of #COVID19 #lockdowns.

[Aileen Collier @AileenCollier15]

@Dr_Chi_Li We seem to have re-marginalised the voice of patients, families and whanau throughout #lockdown ? Families have been reconstructed as 'visitors' as per 80s hospitals? #palliCOVID #PallANZ
