@GarethThomasMP - Please watch this video from @thelizcarr before you vote on the #AssistedSuicide Bill. 'Better Off Dead?' is a must watch documentary to understand why people with disabilities are very concerned https://t.co/Jv5lIGQbdS via @CNKalliance
PAs are doing paediatric clinics.
There was a 2.4 to 1 ratio of applicants for doctors to go into paediatric training.

Come and let me convince you of why complex systems in death, dying & grief are where it’s at!
I’ll be discussing this when I accept the #EAPC2024 post doctoral award on Friday morning 9.30am @MCPCRD @EAPCvzw@MarieCurieEOLC@eolc_research@TheLancet
People need 24/7 access to palliative care in case of urgent need at the end of life, but provision is limited and variable in UK
Maternity units don't close at 5pm, why is a postcode lottery tolerated in palliative care?
Thank for highlighting these issues Ikumi

Led by the wonderful Becky Gould, we show Acceptance and Commitment Therapy improves quality of life in people with MND. Open access in Lancet today. Wonderful to be part of a trial with a positive result for once! https://t.co/Kc1SiiQ5I7
The Government wants to remove GPs from the process of issuing fit (sick) notes & says this will reduce their work. My prediction is that it will increase the work of GPs who will get endless requests for letters & medical reports from patients who have been denied a fit note.

If the Scottish Assisted Dying Bill passes, there will be places in the UK where people can access assisted dying, but not specialist palliative care.
Think about it.
