Closure of homelessness health services in Glasgow & Edinburgh:

“It’s quite likely this move will just result in higher costs elsewhere in the NHS, including more attendances at [emergency departments].” https://t.co/V2ePPTV4z0

New @NHS_Education case study films highlight stories based on real-life experiences of staff working across health & social care in Scotland who have experienced the death of a colleague. They may be used as tool to enable reflection & discussion.

1/📢In Scotland a large proportion of people die without some or all of the palliative support they need, despite the fact 90% would benefit from it.

That's why we're launching a campaign for a right to palliative care for everyone living with terminal illness in Scotland 🧵👇

Convener of the Scottish Parliament's Cross Party Group on Palliative Care @BobDorisSNP calls for a Right to Palliative Care to be enshrined in the new National Care Service and for a sustainable funding settlement for palliative care @MarieCurieSco

[Paul Sweeney MSP @PaulJSweeney]

The Great Daffodil Appeal is an opportunity to support & highlight the vital work @MarieCurieSCO do.

Marie Curie research tells us that poverty & inequality is exacerbated when someone has a terminal illness - I raised this issue in the @ScotParl this afternoon.

Homelessness and precarious #housing have a profound effect on people’s health, wellbeing, and survival.

Delighted to highlight the @Dying_Margins research project by @UofGlasgow @MarieCurieSCO

Built around the stories of people’s end of life experiences, this project makes the simple case that everyone should have the chance to die with dignity and without the worries of poverty

[Naomi Richards @DrNaomiRichards]

Incredible to see this level of political engagement with the @Dying_Margins @EndofLifeStudy @ESRC research … watching it in the gallery with relatives and friends of those who took part knowing this political momentum is part of their legacy
