I welcome the Palliative Care Commission, with some fabulous commissioners. But where is the nursing voice? Of 21 commissioners why 10 medical doctors and only 1 person with a nursing background? #hpm #hapc #nursing @alisonleary1.bsky.social palliativecarecommission.uk/commissioners

This is a really useful resource for anyone who still needs convincing that immigration is not the reason they can't get a training number. An IMG applying to CT1 in my specialty has a 1 in 45 chance of receiving an offer, compared to roughly 1 in 3 for UK grads. medical.hee.nhs.uk/medical-trai...

If other medical specialities were stigmatized like palliative care #hapc #palliativecare

This is good news for hospices, which are under unprecedented financial pressure. But… It’s not a long term solution for hospices. And much palliative and end of life care is delivered outside of the hospice sector. So this is v welcome. But does not ‘fix’ palliative care.

A conversation today about 'comfort' ... so much more than freedom from pain.

We have to be critical towards our own #palliativecare paradigms! The evidence for #opioids for breathlessness in #heartfailure is questionable. A recent review states that „it may only be the very last option if other options have failed or in case of an emergency.“ heart.bmj.com/content/109/...

BBC news tells me ‘an urgent training programme is needed’ You can’t ‘eLearning’ your way out of misogynistic culture. I hope that’s clear, before someone wastes a lot of money ⚕️ amp.theguardian.com/society/2024...

First bluesky post! My new editorial with Catherine Evans and @proflizsampson.bsky.social calls out the misuse of 'person-centred care' in policy and outcome measurement as vague and oversimplified, especially for those with dementia.

Definition of a woman of ‘a certain age’: - Too old to be bullied & intimidated. - Too young to be patronised & ignored. Terrifying to men of a certain type.

Also, your "agitated" patient. Are they delirious due to infection, or are they in pain and unable to communicate it clearly? Give simple analgesia if they haven't had any before running to sedatives. Analgesia FIRST. Always. #MedSky

How do we enhance public understanding of #OrdinaryDying? #PalliativeCare peeps, will you be at Palliative Care Congress 2025? Who has ideas & experience about public engagement? Suggest wise voices & effective campaigns from around the globe - there's lots to learn if we listen to each other.

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)
