We're proud to announce the launch of the "This is Hospice Care" campaign, a ground-breaking collaboration between 143 hospices, brought together by Hospice UK. (1/4) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB_n...

Why not join our amazing team and be part of the history of the world’s first children’s hospice….?

Dash for assisted dying ignores palliative care Good article by Janice Turner - in which she points out that palliative care is so underprioritised that NICE recommendations made more than a decade ago have still not been implemented. www.thetimes.com/article/f052...

The spread of health misinformation and disinformation poses a serious threat to public health. How can we respond to the danger and combat the tide of misinformation and disinformation to protect public health? Find out more in our latest Editorial: tinyurl.com/mtf95p25

Have no regrets - eat more baguettes.

Yes, Alright. But apart from all this…👇 You’ve got to admit Brexit has been a bloody great success. 🇬🇧✔️

In a new report published last month, the World Health Organization presented a cross-sectional analysis of the current status of quality of care and #patientsafety in the WHO European Region. Read more about this on the hub below⬇️ www.pslhub.org/learn/organi...

www.statnews.com/2024/12/27/o... There should be NO quota for appropriate use of opioids in the dying - it’s a basic human right.

"... talking about death won't make it happen. But not talking about it robs us of choices and moments that will not come again." Compassionate words from @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social Unfortunately, wisdom that can be overlooked in healthcare all too often.

Finding the run up to Christmas a challenge? Trying to cope with grief amidst all the noise and tinsel? Have a listen to Debbie's gentle conversation with Abi May about surviving the season and finding a little hope and light in the dark. #bereavement podfollow.com/bereaved-par...

Great news for #hospices in England today, following the funding announcement… and a good excuse to share our new editorial on #children’s hospices, written with @eveholroyd.bsky.social and published in #RCNi Nursing Children and Young People. You can read it here, for free: rcni.com/nursing-chil...

Today Stephen Kinnock and I announce the biggest funding for hospices in a generation: £100 million for improving buildings, kit and technology £26 million grant for children and young people’s hospices An early Christmas present for hospices that do a wonderful job for families.

We've joinged BlueSky! Follow us for updates @ppceducate.bsky.social

So what is PPCEducate? See here for more info... or take a look at our website ppceducate.co.uk

These are the reasons to be on. Bluesky, rather than Musk-Net!

Delighted to be talking on the Thames Valley & Wessex ODN perinatal palliative care webinar today, with Alex Mancini & Lisa Leppard.

This makes me so proud…

Kat Tenbarge interviewed me about the migration to Bluesky among journalists. It's easy to see why it's happening. It's easier to find news, harder to spread disinfo, trolls don't drown out the good content, and links are not deprioritized. It's a breath of fresh air for journalism to thrive in.

Still great growth on Bluesky! Currently ticking over at 1.6 joining a second! 🦋

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 This popular guide has been 🚨updated🚨 and the bad link fixed. Direct links to the tools mentioned can be found in the threaded reply. 🦋 Share for all newcomers! 🦋

I am running the Oxford Half Marathon with my son, my niece and my brother, to support Helen & Douglas House. Any support would be very welcome in this difficult climate for palliative care…. helenanddouglas.enthuse.com/pf/emily-har...

PPC Educate is a Moodle platform for Paediatric Palliative Care - do take a look!

If My Dying Daughter Could Face Her Mortality, Why Couldn’t the Rest of Us? Very thoughtful, moving and brave www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/o...

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)

Hello everyone, I am feeling my way with Bluesky, so thought I would start by sharing some recent work and also giving a shout out to @emilytammam.bsky.social !
