@MelSimmonds3 You look beautiful. Your hair is a gorgeous colour. Thanks for sharing this post. #embracethegrey

Starting #PalliativeCare earlier has been linked to reduced hospital deaths & less aggressive #EndofLife care, emphasing the need to integrate this training broadly across #MedicalEducation - spanning surgical, radiation, & medical oncology programs ▶️ https://t.co/3ODtWHOjqT

Such a moving exploration of anticipatory grief and the role of the hospice in supporting her family from Lizzie Pickering. Thank you for your honesty and such an interesting talk. #rgpconf #anticipatorygrief #bereavementsupport #endoflifecare

@rgphospice Such an interesting talk and vitally important that hospices support care home staff to provide #palliativecare for their residents. #collaborativeworking #RGPConference

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

A great session from Dr Sarah Cox on the palliative care sector’s identity, value and workforce. So important to embrace the diversity of what we do, getting involved with patients earlier, understanding our population’s needs and the importance of using PROMs. #RGPConference

More money is spent in hospice shops than is given to hospices by the government. We don't think that’s right.

Thank you @SkyNews for speaking to us and @HelpStAndrews about the urgent need for sustainable funding so hospices can keep providing their vital care.

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

@HertsMind Wishing you all a good day of reflection, learning, celebrating and planning. C

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

Thank you @Phil_Brickell Quality #endoflifecare should not depend on coffee mornings, fun runs and people being willing to jump out of a plane. Hospice fundraisers do amazing work but a new funding system is long overdue. #renniegrovepeacehospicecare

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

Thanks to @phil_brickell MP for raising hospice funding at #PMQs.

We know there is huge support across the Commons for a better deal for hospices - but the government needs to take action.

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

Creatively staged, cleverly updated and brilliantly acted from the entire cast, most notably Steve Coogan and Giles Terera. Bravo Armando Iannucci and Sean Foley. If you fancy a night of belly-laughs, grab yourself a ticket. #drstrangelove

"We're not just celebrating the contribution that retail makes, but saying to the NHS that we need better, more predictable, longer term funding for the country's adults and children's hospices."

@Joe_Wargamer @MiniaturesPat Looks amazing!

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

Today is an important day for the UK’s hospices 🧡

Our film highlights how hospices’ shops raise vital funds for hospice care – and the injustice that more is now spent in them than is received in government funding.

👉 Please help share this post. Thank you.

@JaneyGodley Dear Janey. Thank you for making time in your precious days to talk about how special our NHS is and how wonderful hospice care is. Thanks for all the belly laughs via your work over the years. #HospiceCareWeek

Eloquent and true.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

This is such an amazing answer from Kamala Harris on Sarah Huckabee Sanders insulting her “I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who are not aspiring to be humble. This is not the 1950s anymore.” Spot on.

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

That is such a shocking fact. Please keep up the fight for fairer funding. ✊🏻

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

"Hospices simply cannot sustain services that cost more and more to run, without meaningful support from Government."

@RobertAuton @EOTR @DebzFlynn Please bring more T-shirts next time. Do you sell them elsewhere?

[Katharine (she/her)💙 @kdf125]

@RobertAuton @EOTR Rob, your show with JF Abraham was an #EotR highlight. 🏆Such beautiful sentiments delivered with passion and great humour. My friend @DebzFlynn and I were crying and laughing. We too were there for the human experience and boy did you both give us a memorable one. Thank you! 🎪
