"No end‑of‑life decision happens in a vacuum. Choices are shaped by many things, and sometimes these are inequality, unmet need, patchy palliative care, and the grinding pressures of an overstretched NHS." blogs.bmj.com/spcare/2026/02… @BMJ_SPCare @jimmcmanusph

We know that some people already avoid contact with palliative care because they suspect it's what will happen, even though it doesn't. That is unequally distributed. People in some marginalised groups are far more likely to suspect health teams, like any form of authority.

Filibustering tends to be one individual speaking for hours on end. Does not look like that. Useful corrective on the '6 Peers are blocking it' narrative. I think many people opposing this Bill would accept a different version of Assisted Dying to the one put forward in this PMB

Recognising the importance of these priorities, the NIHR have a rolling call of funding which they invite research proposals related to selected priorities. Join speakers from the NIHR and Marie Curie who will outline the process behind the top 24 research priorities, discuss why each priority was selected by the NIHR and provide an overview of the NIHR programmes participating in the rolling call. There will be plenty of time for discussion about the priorities and the research funding process.
