@christeeny1 Hi 👋 I'm currently a senior OT in acute medical and surgical, happy to chat!

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

After a fab and fruitful few months in acute med/surg, an opportunity came up that was too good to miss. Heading back to the DBTH inpatient stroke pathway on secondment, an area and clinical team I hold very close to me 💜

Hook - Palliative care is not about giving up on life. It's about living life to the fullest until the very end. Let's break down some common misconceptions about palliative care. 🧵👇

1/ Misconception: Palliative care is only for the dying.
Reality: Regardless of life expectancy, palliative care can help anyone with a serious illness. It focuses on improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and providing emotional support.

2/ Misconception: Palliative care means stopping all other treatments.
Reality: Palliative care can be given alongside curative treatments. It's about providing holistic care that addresses all aspects of a patient's well-being, including physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

3/ Misconception: Palliative care is only for the elderly.
Reality: Palliative care is for anyone with a serious illness, regardless of age. It can be helpful for young adults, children, and anyone facing a life-limiting illness.

4/ Misconception: Palliative care is depressing.
Reality: Palliative care can actually improve a patient's mood and overall well-being. It provides support and comfort during difficult times and helps patients live life as fully as possible.

Let's spread the word about the importance of palliative care and bust these myths. 💪

When someone is bereft, how can we help?
Be a companion. Listen. Stay present. Don't try to fix them, close them down, cheer them up.
Never offer 'At least...'

@rly_katy Ooh I'll have to borrow that off you missis! 💖

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

I know complex clinical decision making never gets "easy" per se, but I'm struggling with my confidence to assert on decisions so much more than I thought as a senior/B6. Is it just as superficial as the title change that's making it feel harder?? Imposter syndrome central 😩

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

Couldn't agree more, a very special educational morning @cpdme @DrLindaDykes @AGoodDeath @drkathrynmannix @de_upeka @sarahmalik450 @COSMakin thank you all!

Wow, just wow!!
What an incredible morning of presentations.
Inspirational, invaluable and so empowering. Thank you 💜@cpdme @DrLindaDykes @drkathrynmannix @COSMakin #makedyingbetter 💜

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

Next up at @cpdme symposium is @COSMakin on symptom control at the end of life: his brief was 'troubleshooting'.
So he's off...

He promises us three things to take away:
3 patients
3 teachers
3 lessons learned.
#MakeDyingBetter

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

Truly fantastic and poignant talk from @DrLindaDykes encouraging the normalisation of #havetheconversation in all clinical areas, shining a light on where AHPs are well placed to gently but proactively nudge those in our care towards planning for EOL care #makedyingbetter

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

Wonderful talks from @de_upeka and @sarahmalik450 representing @AGoodDeath and sharing incredibly important feedback from lived experience of when clinicians impact end of life care both positively & negatively and all the stages needed to #MakingDyingBetter

[#hellomynameisRosie @rgarrett92]

A powerful & hugely informative first talk delivered by @drkathrynmannix who is an idol of mine. Her book 'With The End in Mind' inspired me to start explore specialising in palliative care. Thank you so much Dr Mannix for your teachings #makedyingbetter
