Ken Howells, Rovers’ chaplain, read an adaptation of this at my friend’s funeral today. I’d never heard it before.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths for women under 50, many of them fit, lively and seemingly healthy. Many don’t smoke and never have. Only breast cancer claims more lives in this age group.

Only 72.6% of #lungcancer patients get treated within the current 62-day national cancer waiting time standard. Read our report ‘Millimetres Matter’ on how to help drive improvements in standards of care and improve outcomes for patients: https://t.co/xLGVzdrqC0

We all carry wounds from our work: finding ways to accommodate distress without losing compassion is a constant challenge in health care.
We're as human and vulnerable as our patients. It's our strength and our anchor, but we pay a price in our hearts.

Last week I made 3 patients cry by looking them in the eye and saying "I believe you" when they told me they were having trouble breathing. I'm a little shaken by how grateful they were to be heard and believed. Powerful words that shouldn't be that powerful.

'Burnout can present by eroding a physician’s compassion, professionalism and sense of calling, which translates to worse performance at work and poor patient care.' Important article in the @BMJ this week points to #SchwartzRounds. See our guide and film:

It is inevitable that those who deliver care will also suffer as a result- “you can’t walk through water without getting wet” #ICPH2018

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. #ShwartzRounds

'I often wonder if there was point around the late nineties early noughties when staff were not seen as a priority and so stopped prioritising themselves' - interesting blog on the wellbeing of healthcare staff from @CEOatFoNS @FoNScharity

1/4 Things I have learnt supporting someone close to & at the end of their life.. It is the human interaction that makes the biggest difference; the tone, the manner, the touch on the shoulder, all leave a lasting impact ;
