The 2025 Dundas Medal has been awarded to the Specialist #PalliativeCare Team at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals in recognition of their teamwork and innovative thinking which has improved services for patients.

[Prof Katherine Sleeman @kesleeman]

It’s brilliant that palliative care is becoming a political priority. But *please* let’s not make the mistake of thinking palliative care = hospice care. Most palliative care is provided outside of the hospice sector. We need to improve the entire system, not just one bit of it.
