We’re excited to announce the launch of new research priorities for palliative and end of life care! These have been created in a project with the JLA and other partner organisations, including co-funders the ESRC and @mndassoc.bsky.social, and guided by people affected by a life limiting illness.

Loving this new paper on complexity in medicine, using pediatrics as the worked example. Too many medical authors (and the MRC) run fast and loose with the terms 'complexity' and 'complex interventions'. They should read this paper. #medsky #academicsky #philsci 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD. Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that. But will they? Or will they turn their backs on dying people? www.lbc.co.uk/news/palliat...

Around 600,000 people who die in the UK each year could benefit from palliative care. Palliative care needs to be state funded, as it is now in the Republic of Ireland. @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social bmcpalliatcare.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... (See estimates of need - Tables 3+4)

Two in one 😀 Read about realist evaluation, how it differs from other research approaches, and why it is well-suited for palliative care: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... And how we can get to high-quality realist research through strong reflexivity practice: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....
